Red Velvet Looseleaf Lettuce

New! 50-55 days. This gorgeous Lettuce forms loose heads of intense rosy red, crinkled leaves that morph to pale green at their bases. It's slow to bolt and has a nice, mild flavor. It's absolutely gorgeous in a vegetable patch when alternated with a green variety. (OP.)

One packet of about 700 seeds

      Lettuce Sowing Instructions
      Planting Depth      : ¼”
      Row Spacing: 12”-18”
      Plant Spacing:12”
      Days to Germination: 7-12 days
      Germination Temperature: 45°-90°F

      Lettuce prefers cool weather. To raise transplants, start seeds 5 to 8 weeks before setting out. Transplant out as soon as the soil can be worked. Sow thinly in flats or pots using sterilized starter mix, cover lightly and water. Provide light, moderate warmth and good ventilation. Avoid crowding: thin to 2" apart. Amend Lettuce beds with compost, organic fertilizer and/or well-rotted manure. Gradually acclimate seedlings to outdoor temperatures and moderate sunlight, water well at transplanting time, shade seedlings from scorching sun and protect from heavy frosts. Keep soil moist with regular watering and feed with a liquid fertilizer as needed. For “baby” greens, broadcast seed, harvesting leaves when 3" to 4" high with scissors. Make successive sowings every 2 weeks for continuous harvest.
