A fast growing variety that produces rosettes of ruffled, red tinted leaves. Plant in full sun or partial shade in hotter areas in soil amended with plenty of compost, and feed with a high nitrogen fertilizer. This lettuce will also grow well in containers. If growing in a container, we recommend using Fox Farm Ocean Forest potting soil.
Planting your 6 pack: Plant the seedlings 10 inches apart, and water in after planting.
Harvest by picking off the outer leaves, and plants will regrow from the center. Or, once heads are well filled out, cut it off at the base. When weather begins to warm up, harvest entire plants before they begin to bolt. The sweet leaves are very delicious as a salad.
