    Sea side is a poor performer under my conditions. Reflect and Alexandria left it in the dust. Best grown as a strictly baby leaf variety under greenhouse or low low tunnel conditions. Small plant with thick dark green spade shaped leaves. Slow bolting and late maturing with resistance to Downy Mildew. Lacks vigor to grow in open field in my climate.
