Red Leaf Lettuce 'Brigitte' is a fast growing variety that produces rosettes with ruffled, deep red leaves. Plant in full sun or partial shade in soil amended with plenty of compost, and feed with a high nitrogen fertilizer. This lettuce will also grow very well in containers. If growing in a container, we recommend using Fox Farm Ocean Forest potting soil.
Planting your 6 pack: Either separate each seedling by carefully teasing apart the roots and plant each seedling 4-6 inches apart, and water immediately after. Or, plant the cluster of seedlings 8 inches apart, and water in after planting.

Harvest by picking off the outer leaves, and plants will regrow from the center. When weather begins to warm up, harvest entire plants before they begin to bolt. The leaves add a striking color to any salad mix.
