50 days — Similar to 'Green Salad Bowl' lettuce except, as its name implies, 'Red Salad Bowl' has reddish-bronze colored leaves. It is a very ornamental plant that makes an attractive addition to a tossed salad. It is also slow to bolt (go to seed) during the heat of the summer allowing for a long harvest period.
'Red Salad Bowl' was bred by the Dessert Seed Company of El Centro, California[1] from a selection of 'Green Salad Bowl' and introduced in 1955. Each packet contains one gram, which is approximately 500 to 600 seeds.
