Pablo Batavian Lettuce

60-70 days. To complete our Batavian line-up, we introduce you to the glory of Pablo’s colorful loose heads and beautiful upright rosettes. With wide, light emerald-green leaves embellished with beautiful lustrous brick-red wavy edges, Pablo is the perfect bi-color to highlight the lush greenness of Arianna and the rich wine-redness of Merlot Batavian leaves. Slow to bolt, mild and sweet through the whole season, Pablo is a perfect ornamental, but also happens to be one of the best tasting Batavians ever. (OP.)

A far cry from its wild, weedy ancestors, Lettuce now appears in all shapes, textures, flavors and sizes, bringing healthy crunch to modern kitchens. The varieties we offer are beautiful, reliable and usually not available in stores. To enjoy its ephemeral sweetness and texture, make sure Lettuce grows quickly: water it frequently and fertilize weekly with fish emulsion or manure tea. Direct-seed from the spring through the late summer. For baby greens, sow thickly and harvest with scissors or raise transplants, plugging seedlings into empty spaces in your garden as they become available.

Average seed life: 3 years.
