Anuenue

High heat tolerance! Its mellifluous Hawaiian name may mean, "rainbow," but this lettuce is a beautiful, uniform bright green. A slow grower and bolter, 'Anuenue' matures as the days get shorter and the heat gets stronger. This University of Hawaii introductions bears crisp, sweet, succulent leaves and remains compact as it grows, surrounding its round, tightly packed heart with crisp outer leaves. Unlike the seed of most lettuce varieties, its seed will germinate at 80 degrees; this variety also has some winter hardiness when protected. Black seeds. Crisphead. 50 days.
