Pelleted Seed Lettuce Summer Crisp Cherokee 4 Sizes Available
Pelleted Seed Lettuce Summer Crisp Cherokee delivers dependable performance for both mini-head and full-size lettuce production. This conventional variety features distinctly dark red leaves with robust flavor and a crisp texture ideal for fresh market appeal. The pelleted format ensures precise seeding and reduced waste compared to raw seed. Cherokee excels in warm-season growing with exceptional heat tolerance and strong resistance to bottom rot—critical advantages during peak summer months. You'll appreciate its slow bolting tendency, which extends harvest windows and reduces premature flowering. The variety carries high resistance to Downy Mildew (EU races 16, 21, 23, 32 and US races 5–6), protecting your crop from a common lettuce disease. While slightly less sweet than Magenta, the deeper red coloration and superior heat stability make Cherokee a reliable choice for home growers targeting summer production. NOP-compliant pelleting supports organic operations. Seed lot MT0-30. Available in four seed quantity sizes to match your planting scale and succession-cropping needs. Expect mature heads in approximately 60 days under favorable conditions, with seed germination rates around 80%, ensuring reliable establishment. The open-pollinated, heirloom genetics enable seed saving, allowing you to perpetuate superior plants across multiple seasons. Pelleted seed coating ensures precise spacing and reduced thinning labor. The variety demonstrates strong adaptability across soil types and climates, reducing variability in yield and quality. Packaging uses reusable, recyclable, and climate-conscious materials aligned with responsible stewardship.
