In 1977, Chloe Lowry made this family heirloom available to the world. Named for her grandfather, an American Civil War veteran and custodian of this variety, Grandpa Admire's is a beautifully soft butter lettuce with bronze-tinged leaves. It is one of the slowest to bolt, making it the best choice to grow for summer salads.

Evelyn ★★★★★

The leaves have that wonderfully tender, buttery texture that you just don't find in store-bought lettuce. Knowing this seed comes from a family heirloom saved since the Civil War makes it feel special to grow.

Michael K. ★★★★★

I planted these in my garden and they germinated reliably, even in cooler spring soil. The texture is just as described—soft and tender—makes for perfect salads.

Emily H. ★★★★★

I was pleasantly surprised by how soft these lettuce leaves are — they have a buttery texture that makes salads feel special. The seeds sprouted reliably within a week, and the story behind this heirloom variety is a nice bonus.
