These non-GMO, heirloom pelleted seeds are available in four sizes: 60, 80, 100, or 200 seeds. MT0-30.

Why Choose Reno Pelleted Lettuce?

• Exceptional Heat Tolerance: Reno is built for warm-weather performance, helping gardeners keep crisp lettuce growing when many varieties struggle.
• Compact Teardrop Heads: Upright heads bulk up quickly and fit neatly into garden beds, raised beds, and containers.
• Crunchy, Sweet Texture: Enjoy a juicy bite similar to iceberg lettuce with thick leaves that hold up well in handling.
• Flexible Harvest Window: Harvest very early for tender heads or leave plants in the field longer for additional size.
• Slow to Bolt: Reno’s slower bolting habit helps extend the time available for harvesting quality leaves and heads.
• Precision-Friendly Pellets: The coated seeds are easier to see and space during careful sowing and controlled growing.

Planting Tips for Success

• Choose the Right Season: Sow for spring or fall harvests, using Reno’s heat tolerance to help extend production into warmer weather.
• Provide Sunlight: Grow in a sunny location with good airflow. In very hot conditions, afternoon protection can help keep leaves tender.
• Prepare the Soil: Use fertile, well-drained soil enriched with organic matter, and keep the seedbed free of weeds.
• Plant Carefully: Place pelleted seeds at the depth recommended on the packet, then cover lightly and avoid burying them too deeply.
• Space for Heads: Thin or transplant seedlings so each compact head has room to develop and airflow can reach the foliage.
• Keep Moisture Even: Water consistently so the soil stays evenly moist but not waterlogged, especially while seedlings are establishing.
• Feed as Needed: Start with fertile soil and apply a balanced vegetable fertilizer according to label directions when plants need additional nutrition.
• Harvest Promptly: Begin harvesting early for tender heads, or allow Reno to mature longer for a larger harvest while conditions remain favorable.
