Planting and Growing Instructions:
• Days to Maturity: 45-55 days for full-size heads; baby greens can be harvested in as little as 28 days.
• Planting Depth: Sow seeds 1/8 to 1/4 inch deep.
• Plant Spacing: Thin seedlings to 6-12 inches apart for optimal growth. Rows should be spaced 12-18 inches apart.
• Days to Germination: 7-14 days, depending on soil temperature.
• Growing Conditions: Red Oakleaf Lettuce thrives in full sun to partial shade. Ensure at least 4-6 hours of sunlight daily.
Indoor or Outdoor Planting Options:
• Start Indoors: For an earlier harvest, start seeds indoors 4-6 weeks before the last expected frost. Transplant seedlings outdoors when they are 2-3 inches tall and the risk of frost has passed.
• Direct Sowing: Sow directly into well-prepared soil in early spring or fall. Lettuce prefers cooler temperatures, making it ideal for early-season and late-season planting.
Growing Tips:
• Keep soil consistently moist but not waterlogged to encourage tender growth.
• Red Oakleaf Lettuce prefers fertile, well-draining soil with a pH between 6.0 and 7.0. Adding compost or aged manure can enhance soil fertility.
• Mulch around plants to retain soil moisture and reduce weed competition.
• Harvest outer leaves as needed for a continuous supply, or cut the entire plant at the base for a one-time harvest.
