I have purchased this seed as "drunken woman frizzy headed" -- who can resist that name?? I have not, however, had the greatest luck with growing it, but that could be my own error as lettuce is typically an easy crop in the Pacific NW. This is a butterhead type of lettuce with a savoyed head and mint-green leaves tinged in red. Late to bolt. I will continue to try it just for the name alone.
