Description
Deer Tongue is an Amish heirloom lettuce known for upright, triangular leaves shaped like its namesake. The leaves are medium green, tender, and slightly crinkled, with a sweet, nutty flavor that stands apart from ordinary looseleaf types.
Harvest young leaves for baby salads or cut fuller plants for a loose, rustic head. This old garden lettuce brings character to the salad bowl and to the row itself—pointed leaves, sturdy growth, and the kind of heirloom shape you remember after growing it once.
