(Lactuca sativa var. longifolia)
Crisp, refreshing, and full of flavour, Cos (Romaine) lettuce is a timeless garden favourite known for its tall, upright growth and sturdy, elongated leaves. This heirloom type forms compact heads with a tender inner heart and crunchy outer leaves, delivering the classic texture that makes it a staple for salads and wraps.
With its naturally sweet, slightly robust taste and satisfying crunch, Romaine is perfect for everything from fresh garden salads to traditional Caesar dishes. The upright habit keeps leaves cleaner and well‑formed, while the dense heart stays pale, tender, and full of flavour.
Reliable and easy to grow, Cos lettuce performs well in cooler conditions and tolerates warmth better than many other varieties, making it a dependable option for extended harvests. Whether grown in garden beds or containers, it produces consistent, high‑quality harvests with minimal effort
