The Vanguard variety is an Iceberg-type head lettuce characterized by large, vigorous plants. Its leaves are dark green, with a matte, blistered surface and smooth or slightly wavy margins. The texture of the leaves is notable for its crispness and juiciness.
The plant possesses high heat tolerance and the ability to delay bolting, which allows it to be grown in high-temperature conditions. The variety is also characterized by resistance to tipburn and is traditionally intended for fresh consumption.
