Bred specifically for hydroponics/aquaponics - Romaine lettuce is a variety of lettuce which grows in a long head of sturdy leaves with a firm rib down the center. It is so called because it is said to have originated on the Greek island of Cos (Kos). Unlike most lettuces, it is tolerant of heat. It is a cultivar of the common lettuce (Lactuca sativa) and is distinguished by an elongated head; dark green, long, narrow, crisp, stiff leaves and a coarse texture, with a distinctive rib almost to the tip of the leaf.
