Growing instructions
Sow indoors beginning 8-10 weeks before last frost, or direct sow beginning about 4 weeks before last frost. Harvest late spring and summer sowings promptly to beat bolting by cutting the whole head at the base. Continue sowing until about 2 weeks before first fall frost. Lettuce likes steady (but not excessive) moisture and can become prematurely bitter during dry spells; keep irrigated for best-tasting leaves.

    This lettuce has performed well through out our major flooding in coastal California this early year(2023). Taste is excellent, will grow again.

    Tastes great, looks beautiful
    First year growing this lettuce and have really enjoyed it. Grows into big, beautiful red leaves. Many people in my community garden would stop by to comment on it. Did succession planting of it until I ran out of seeds. Next year I'm getting two packets so that I never run out.
