Heat tolerant looseleaf variety.
Oakleaf lettuce was introduced in the 1770s and was known at that time as American Oak Leaved. Just like the name implies, Oakleaf has deeply lobed leaves that form a tight cluster. The unique shape really adds to salads. This green-leafed heirloom is bolt resistant and does well in warm weather, later into the season than many others, without getting sappy and bitter.
