Pelleted Seed Lettuce Romaine Dragoon produces compact, uniform green mini-romaine plants with thick, crisp leaves and exceptionally dense heads. This organic, heirloom variety uses NOP-compliant pelleting for easier precision seeding and consistent stand establishment. Dragoon holds well in field conditions, maintains quality through harvest and transport, and performs across spring, summer, and fall. Its bolting and tipburn tolerance helps protect crop quality, while its flexibility in field and hydroponic systems makes it useful for home gardens, market production, and controlled growing.

Planting Tips for Success

• Sunlight: Grow in full sun during cooler weather. Provide afternoon shade in hot climates to help preserve crisp leaves.
• Soil: Use fertile, well-drained soil enriched with compost and organic matter.
• Starting Seeds: Sow pelleted seeds about 1/4 inch deep, or start indoors and transplant carefully once seedlings are established.
• Spacing: Space mini-romaine plants about 8–10 inches apart, with rows 12–18 inches apart, to support dense heads and good airflow.
• Watering: Keep soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Uneven moisture can stress lettuce and affect leaf quality.
• Fertilizing: Feed with compost or a balanced fertilizer at planting, then fertilize moderately as plants develop. Avoid excessive nitrogen.
• Season Planning: Use succession plantings in spring, summer, and fall to maintain a steady harvest.
• Harvest: Cut dense heads at the base when they reach the size you prefer, or harvest outer leaves while allowing the center to continue growing.
