Organic Lettuce Speckled Bibb – Cornucopia Seeds

Description:

Lactuca sativa

USDA organic. This tasty, widely adapted heirloom lettuce is a Dutch variety brought to North America in 1799 by Mennonite immigrants. Beautiful bibb with green leaves brushed and speckled with deep red.

Gardener's Notes: Lettuce thrives in cool weather. For continuous harvests, sow in early spring, planting every 2 weeks until summer heat arrives. In hot weather, provide some afternoon shade. Plant again at midsummer to early fall for a late crop. Keep soil evenly moist for best flavor. Thin seedlings to final spacing 10 inches apart; lettuce grows best when not crowded. Cut heads when firm and well-filled out.
