Maroon-red, deeply cut and finely divided leaves, very attractive in tossed salad. Plants make large rosettes. Long-standing, slow to bolt, can be harvested over period of time. Harvest about 50 days after sowing. Thin initially to stand 3-4 in. apart when 1-2 in. high. Wait 2-3 weeks, thin out alternate plants for final spacing of 6-8 in.
