Why Choose Lettuce Mix Gourmet?

• Five Complementary Heirloom Varieties: Flame, Amish Deer Tongue, Butter King, Lollo Rosso Dark, and Super Red Romaine/Silvia — a thoughtfully balanced blend of color, texture, and flavor.
• Stunning Visual Appeal: Deep reds, bright greens, ruffled edges, and smooth leaves create a visually striking garden bed and a beautiful bowl.
• Cut-and-Come-Again: Harvest outer leaves regularly and the plants continue producing new growth — one planting delivers weeks of continuous harvests.
• Fast Harvest: Baby greens ready in just 30 days — one of the fastest crops from seed to table.
• Nutritional Powerhouse: Rich in Vitamin A, Vitamin K, Vitamin C, folate, and antioxidants including beta-carotene and anthocyanins.
• Heirloom & Open-Pollinated: Passed down through generations for at least 75 years — save seeds year after year.
• Non-GMO Seeds: Plants whose DNA has not been altered in ways that do not occur naturally through traditional breeding methods.

Planting Tips for Success

• Sunlight: Full sun to partial shade — 4–6 hours per day. Afternoon shade in warm climates extends the harvest window before bolting.
• Soil: Loose, well-drained, fertile soil with a pH of 6.0–7.0. Amend with compost for best leaf production.
• Planting: Direct sow ⅛ inch deep in early spring or fall. Can also start indoors 3–4 weeks before last frost and transplant. Succession sow every 2–3 weeks for continuous harvest.
• Spacing: Scatter seeds thinly in rows or broadcast over a bed. Thin to 6–8 inches for full heads, or leave closer for cut-and-come-again harvesting.
• Watering: Keep soil consistently moist — lettuce is shallow-rooted and dries out quickly. Water gently to avoid disturbing seeds or tender seedlings.
• Fertilizing: Apply a nitrogen-rich fertilizer or compost tea every 2–3 weeks to promote lush, rapid leaf growth.
• Temperature: Lettuce thrives at 60–70°F. Bolt risk increases above 80°F — use shade cloth in summer or plant as a cool-season crop in spring and fall.
• Harvesting: Begin harvesting outer leaves at 30 days for baby greens. For full heads, wait 45–60 days. Harvest in the morning for crispest leaves.
