Lettuce Mix and Oakleaf Seeds

Grow tender leaves and colorful salads with lettuce mix and oakleaf seeds from David's Garden Seeds®. Choose Gourmet Mix for a blended planting or Red and Green Salad Bowl oakleaf selections for their distinctive lobed leaves. Plan young-leaf or larger-plant harvests using each listing's guidance.

Choose Your Salad Garden Favorites

• Gourmet Mix: Explore a lettuce blend for variety in your salad bed. Read the product listing for its composition and recommended harvest stage rather than assuming all components mature together.
• Salad Bowl Red: Add red-toned oakleaf foliage and soft texture to fresh meals.
• Salad Bowl Green: Grow green oakleaf leaves for salads and sandwiches.
• Oakleaf character: These lettuces are named for their lobed, oak-like leaves. They form leafy plants rather than tight iceberg-style heads.

Plan for Cool-Season Growing

Lettuce generally performs best in cool conditions. Spring and fall can suit many gardens, but local weather determines the best planting window. Heat can reduce germination, encourage bolting and affect flavor. Harvest timing varies with variety, temperature, spacing and whether you want baby leaves or larger plants.

Planting Tips for Success

• Start at suitable temperatures: Follow each product's sowing guidance and avoid assuming lettuce will germinate well in a hot seedbed.
• Sow shallowly: Use fine, well-prepared soil or seed-starting mix and follow the recommended depth.
• Keep moisture even: Maintain a moist seedbed during germination without waterlogging. Avoid repeated wilting as leaves develop.
• Space for your harvest: Follow the variety's spacing recommendations, allowing more room for larger plants than for baby-leaf production.
• Choose suitable light: Use a location suited to your season; afternoon shade may help during warmer periods.
• Feed thoughtfully: Prepare fertile, well-drained soil and follow soil-test and fertilizer-label recommendations.
• Stagger sowings: Sow small batches while conditions remain favorable to spread out harvests rather than expecting one planting to supply the entire season.

Harvest Tender Leaves

Pick at the stage recommended for the selection. For outer-leaf harvests, leave the growing center intact and avoid stripping plants. Repeat harvest depends on plant health, weather and cutting method; it is not unlimited. Harvest before bolting reduces eating quality, wash leaves well and refrigerate promptly.

Ways to Enjoy Your Harvest

• Fresh salads: Combine green and red-toned leaves with your favorite garden vegetables.
• Sandwiches: Add tender leaves for fresh flavor and texture.
• Side salads: Dress gently just before serving to avoid weighing down delicate leaves.
• Mixed garden plates: Use contrasting leaf shapes and colors to make everyday meals inviting.

Serving suggestions refer to harvested lettuce, not planting seeds. A lettuce-only mix is not necessarily the same as a mesclun blend, which may contain other kinds of greens.
