Summer Crisp Nevada Lettuce is a heat-tolerant loose-leaf lettuce that produces thick, vibrant green leaves with attractive ruffling and a satisfying crisp texture. Rather than waiting for a tight head, harvest the tender outer leaves as needed and let the plant continue producing fresh growth. Nevada combines crisp leaf texture with a tender, buttery quality and strong bolting resistance, helping it maintain useful flavor as temperatures rise. This open-pollinated variety also offers downy mildew resistance and lettuce mosaic virus tolerance MT0-30. Begin harvesting in approximately 60 days, or pick young leaves earlier for salads and sandwiches. This packet contains 500 non-GMO, open-pollinated seeds.

Germination Rate: 85%. Test Date: 3/25. TLM.

Texas Minimum Germination Rate: 80%

Why Choose Summer Crisp Nevada Lettuce?

• Loose-Leaf Harvest: Pick the outer leaves as needed instead of waiting for a single tight head, allowing the plant to keep producing.
• Cut-and-Come-Again Potential: Harvest selectively and leave the central growing point intact for continued leaf growth.
• Crisp and Tender Texture: Enjoy thick, ruffled leaves with a pleasant crunch and a softer, buttery quality.
• Warm-Season Performance: Strong bolting resistance helps Nevada remain useful as temperatures climb.
• Resilient Variety: Downy mildew resistance and lettuce mosaic virus tolerance MT0-30 can help reduce common growing challenges.
• Open-Pollinated Seed: Save seed from strong, healthy plants when you follow appropriate seed-saving practices.

Planting Tips for Success

• Plan Around Temperature: Sow in early spring or late summer for the best conditions, and use Nevada's heat tolerance to extend the lettuce season.
• Choose Sun with Relief: Grow in full sun during cool weather. Provide afternoon shade in hotter climates to help protect leaf quality.
• Prepare Fertile Soil: Work compost or well-aged organic matter into loose, well-drained soil before planting.
• Sow Shallowly: Plant seeds according to the packet directions and cover lightly. Keep the seedbed consistently moist through germination.
• Space for Leaf Growth: Thin seedlings or transplant them with enough room for a broad, leafy plant and good airflow.
• Water Evenly: Keep soil moisture consistent, especially during warm weather. Water at the soil line to help keep foliage dry.
• Feed for Leaf Production: Apply a balanced vegetable fertilizer according to label directions when plants need additional nutrition. Avoid overfertilizing.
• Mulch Lightly: Use a light organic mulch to conserve moisture, moderate soil temperature, and reduce weed competition.
• Harvest Outer Leaves: Pick the larger outside leaves when they reach the size you prefer, leaving the center intact so the plant can continue producing.
• Succession Sow: Plant small batches at intervals suited to your climate for a steadier supply of fresh lettuce.
