When I was first introduced to Panisse lettuce by a neighbor who was marketing to the Boston Restaurants I dismissed it as too Shi Shi for us.  

Eventually a year or two later I slotted it into our trial plots… fast forward a decade  plus and it’s easily our best selling lettuce variety and had been for a long while.

Texture of a soft buttery Bibb with the shape and contour of a rounded oakleaf, our customers rave about it all season.  And it cleans up pretty well even after pounding rains.

It’s not my preferred sandwich lettuce as I like a more pronounced crunch to the bite, yet happy to feature it prominently every year. 

Note: it’s red leaved counterparty Rouxai was and still is too Shi Shi for us however.
