"Bright burgundy baby leaf with a gently scalloped edge. A nice addition to lettuce mixes, contributing loft and vivid color. Compared to Antago, it has a higher level of downy mildew resistance and a slightly faster growth rate. Attractive, upright, dark cherry red leaves are not as pink as Antago with less ruffle." High Mowing Seeds
