Korean Red Leaf Lettuce (Jeok Sangchu) Seeds

Korean Red Leaf Lettuce (Jeok Sangchu 적상추) is one of the most tender and sweet lettuce leaves for Korean ssam and salad muchim. 

These lettuces grow well in containers and many Koreans grow them in pots (or even in those big styrofoam boxes  😲) in their apartment verandas – so you know they grow well in containers!
