Variety characteristics:

• W1456 Yuanye Wuxiang Round-Leaf Lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) is a distinctive Chinese leaf-lettuce selection prized for broad, tender foliage, rich green color and a pronounced fresh aroma. The upright plants reach approximately 11 inches tall and develop soft, substantial leaves with rounded tips and a typical width of about 2 inches.
Both the leaves and tender stems display an attractive glossy green color. Their soft, crisp texture and concentrated lettuce fragrance make this selection an excellent choice for stir-fries, soups, hot-pot dishes and other fresh or lightly cooked preparations.
Yuanye Wuxiang combines dependable cool-season vigor with comparative cold tolerance and useful adaptability to moderately warm conditions. In mild southern climates, growers can schedule multiple seasonal sowings; in colder North American regions, it performs especially well during spring and fall or under protected winter culture.
The broad-leaf form, upright habit and aromatic eating quality make Yuanye Wuxiang an appealing specialty crop for home gardens, Asian vegetable programs, farm stands and restaurant-market production.
