45 days. We thought this variety should really be called ‘Five Star’, because that’s what it earned at our trial grounds. Thick, succulent, crisp leaves styled with extra frilliness like an endive, yet on a relaxed, loose-leaf frame. Large plants stand approximately 6–7 inches tall, a full 12 inches wide with luscious, 6–7 inch wide, outstretched leaves. Outstanding uniformity. A vibrant chartreuse color and delicious, non-bitter flavor make this wavy-leafed variety a winner from garden to salad bowl.
