Johnny's sells two varieties of lettuce that I think are just spectacular - Cherokee and Magenta - they combine the crispness and sweetness of cos types, but are more of a crisphead - we pick outer leaves from them all spring, and they are relatively slow bolting as well....Magenta is bright green with red shading, Cherokee is a stunning mostly deep red.
Thanks to my friend Tomaddict, I always grow 30+ types - the mix of leaf shapes and colors and growth habits is really interesting to see.
