Ruby red outer leaves with bright green veins form stunning compact upright heads. Tender hearts are rose blending to green at the base. More heat tolerant and less bitter than many green romaine lettuces.
SOWING…Seed directly outdoors as early as soil can be worked. Cover seed with ¼ inch of soil 2 inches apart in each direction. Lettuces prefer cooler growing conditions. In the hottest weather, seeds can be ‘fooled’ to germinate by keeping them in the refrigerator for a few days before planting.
THINNING…To 6-10 inches apart when plants are 4 inches high.
GERMINATION…In 7-14 days depending on soil and weather conditions. Keep soil evenly moist until plants start to grow.
REMARKS…As heads develop, harvest every other baby sized head to allow room for others to develop fully. Sow every few weeks for continuous harvest.
