LETTUCE 'Summer Bibb'

Fabulous tasting lettuce - crisp, clean and easy to grow. Crispy heads often self blanch in the center. Lt. John B. Bibb served in the War of 1812, represented Logan County in the Kentucky House of Representatives and the state Senate from 1827 to 1834. Lt. Bibb was also an amateur horticulturist and developed the Bibb lettuce we know and love today. Very old heirloom started being offered commercially in 1935. Bibb will holds well in the heat and still grows quickly in cool weather. Performs well in Texas.
