What kind of lettuce is this?
Last year I bought a "bag of lettuce" that had four varities of various lettuce growing in the bag all summer long. This one head of lettuce, as pictured, made it through a New England winter and is thriving. I have no idea what it's name is, do you? I used the " Plant Snap" app and it said it was a some sort of mum, which I know it is not.

That's not lettuce, it's kale, which is related to cabbages. It's very winter hardy.
It's too tough to eat raw, but is tasty steamed or boiled.
That looks a lot like ornamental kale which is hardy in the winter.
I don't know what kind it is but if I did want to know, I'd google 'lettuce varieties frilly leaf'. Doing that brought this website:

If you can't find it among 29 varieties--who knew there were that many kinds of lettuce? then you've got something really really unusual. Seed catalogues might be a place to look too.
This isn't something I'm real good at, but possibly oakleaf lettuce? https://images.app.goo.gl/Jt4LUBptvcqHZF5DA
