Frillasti: A Compact Frillice Type for Year-Round Production
Frillasti is a compact, dark green Frillice-type lettuce with a distinctive crystal-like appearance. It produces heavy, high-quality heads with good taste and crispness, and its growth cycle is a few days shorter than Frillice. With very good tolerance to tip burn and bolting, Frillasti is suited to hydroponic and open-field production.
