W1454 Zikongque Lettuce, 0.07 oz ≈ 800 Seeds

Variety characteristics:

• W1454 Zikongque Purple Peacock Lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) is a striking loose-leaf selection distinguished by its oversized leaves, rich purple-green coloring and crisp, tender texture. The broad, substantial foliage develops an attractive upright rosette with gently crinkled surfaces and a graceful, open presentation.
Mature leaves display deep purple to burgundy coloring across the upper portions while retaining fresh green tones near the base and inner ribs. This natural color contrast gives each plant exceptional ornamental appeal in the garden and a distinctive appearance in fresh-market displays.
The thick yet tender leaves deliver a crisp bite with a pleasantly mild, lightly sweet flavor. Their generous size makes them especially useful for salads, sandwiches, lettuce cups, wraps and serving grilled or roasted foods.
Under favorable cool-season conditions, Purple Peacock reaches usable harvest size approximately 60 days after emergence. Gardeners can pick the mature outer leaves repeatedly while preserving the central growing point, or harvest the entire plant at once for a full-sized market bunch.
