Grandpa Admire’s produces very large blocky dense green heads blushed with just the right amount of red to the tips of the leaves. Extremely uniform it holds up well to packing. It will form a loose head if left to full maturity. Firm texture similar to a tender romaine. Presented to the Seed Saver Exchange in 1977 by 90 year old Cloe Lowrey, granddaughter to civil war veteran George Admire (b. 1822). 55 days.
Care: Plant 12-16″ apart in rows 16-18″ apart in a mostly sunny area.
