Romaine Lettuce 'Freckles' An unusual bright green romaine with crimson splashes. Upright growth, and crisp texture make this an excellent choice for both baby leaf and full-sized heads. 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 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 6-8 inches apart, and water immediately after. Or, plant the cluster of seedlings 10 inches apart, and water in after planting.

Harvest by picking off the outer leaves, and plants will regrow from the center. Plants can be sheared to 2 inches from the base and plants will regrow. When weather begins to warm up, harvest entire plants before they begin to bolt. The sweet leaves add a striking color to any salad mix.
