Ezrilla' is a slow-to-bolt, green, compact, leaf lettuce that is disease resistant to downy mildew, lettuce leaf aphid, lettuce die-back, and lettuce mosaic virus. Eazyleaf™ series lettuces are bred for qualities of uniform leaf growth; high leaf count in a short, compact head; and a short core for one-cut salad prep.

I sowed these pelleted seeds along with other lettuce seeds including pelleted Salanova, and the Ezrilla did not germinate. I contacted Botanical Interest and they sent me out another seed packet, but I am getting the same problem. All mother lettuce seedlings have germinated but this one under the same conditions.

I like to grow curly endive (aka frisee) in order to add texture to my salads. I thought Ezrilla lettuce looked similar to endive so I gave it a shot for the first time in my fall/winter garden. I planted these seeds in the Atlanta area on Sept 15 and 6 weeks later I am harvesting for salads. I did not get 100% germination but I will try this seed again in the spring to see if germination improves.

The Ezrilla is holding up well in Arizona winter conditions!

Really impressed with this lettuce! I bought the seeds as a novelty but I will absolutely be growing these as a staple in my garden from now on. The leaves are a fun, frilly serrated texture with a delicate crispness and mild sweet flavor. You could harvest the entire head at once, but I found it best to just pull the leaves I needed and let the plants continue on. They add a lot of interest to salads and look almost ornamental in the veg patch. They mature quite quickly and handle temperature swings very well. My garden is in Central TX where our fall and winter can swing from 80F to 40F in 24 hours, and these are still going strong.
