Red Romaine Lettuce

Red Romaine Lettuce Seed (40 days)

Red romaine lettuce has long crunchy spoon shaped leaves that start green and fade to profuse purple/red. Leaves are12" tall and the plant is about 10-12" wide.

This lettuce is often used in Caesar salads for its crunch and color. Use red romaine lettuce for incredible edible purple borders in your flower beds.

This is a great seller at farmers markets for its color and holds up well under transport.

TIP: Remember if you are growing lettuce in the heat, plant them where they will get afternoon shade. Lettuce is a spring and fall crop in really hot areas. Lettuce also like moist rich soil!

Planting Tips:

Sow directly into very fertile, loose soil. Thin down to final spacing once plants are established. For best results, plant in spring or fall. Harvest outside leaves for a continual harvest. For longer harvest, stagger plantings every 2-3 weeks.

Heat Tolerance: If you are growing lettuce in the heat, plant them where they will get afternoon shade. Lettuce is a spring and fall crop in really hot areas.

Harvest Tips: For a continual harvest, sow every 2-3 weeks a new crop if cutting full heads, otherwise harvesting outside leaves will encourage a longer harvest from individual plants.

Heirloom seeds are hardy but always take care with your garden seeds to give them the appropriate amount of moisture - not letting the vegetable seeds dry out prematurely or overwatering and possibly having them rot.
