Green Mignonette Lettuce

Green Mignonette is a semi-head lettuce, with medium to dark bright-green leaves. It grows 8 to 10 inches (20 to 25 cm) tall, and can weigh up to 1 pound (450g.) The firmness and size of the head varies based on temperature during growing.

It tolerates heat and is slow to bolt, but there can be some tip burn during very hot weather, and heavy rains can bruise the leaves.

It has a standard lettuce taste.

Green Mignonette is the most common-type of lettuce grown in lower-altitude parts of Hawaii, and is grown year round there.

There are several cultivars or selections such as UH Manoa and Anuenue.
