80 days. A selection from Yedikule lettuce for higher yields, Large Yedikule produces larger leaves and heads that can weigh around 2 lbs, ~3 oz more on average than Yedikule. Darker green leaves and better heat tolerance than Yedikule. Does best in spring and fall due to late maturity. Excellent flavor and thick midrib.
