I have two packets of lettuce seed one is T&M taste of Italy 'Lattuga bionda Lenta a Montare',  the other is from Sutton seeds Italian Kitchen collection 'Lattuga Lentissima a montare 3'.

Does anyone speak italian are they the same lettuce.  What does Lentissima mean?

Ta

[agapanthus]

It means slack or loose!!

[Knoblauch]

lento means slow, lentissimo just means very slow.

having a look around google think it means with the Lattuga bit slow to bolt, as saw another pic of lettuce with that Lattuga Lentissima name on it but text called it slow to bolt.
