Lettuce 'Merveille des Quatre Saisons' is a fast growing butterhead variety that produces very large, flavorful heads of red tinted leaves. "Quatre Saisons" translates literally to four seasons - meaning this hearty lettuce grows very well all year round! Plant in full sun or partial shade in soil amended with plenty of compost, and feed with a high nitrogen fertilizer.
Planting your 6 pack: Either separate each seedling by carefully teasing apart the roots and plant each seedling 8-10 inches apart, and water immediately after. Or, plant the cluster of seedlings 12 inches apart, and water in after planting.
Harvest by cutting off the entire head at the base when they are well filled out and firm to the touch. The sweet leaves add a striking color to salads.
