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.)
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.
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.
