Vintage Blond is a mid-to-late lettuce variety valued for its compact, well-sized heads and crisp, tender leaves. The fresh green foliage has a mild, sweet flavour and excellent texture, making it ideal for salads throughout the warmer months.

One of its key strengths is its strong resistance to bolting, allowing for reliable harvests even during summer. Easy to grow and dependable, Vintage Blond is a great choice for gardeners seeking consistency and quality.
