Lettuce, Merlot

This is a pre-order. All pre-orders will be delivered later in the spring when the season is just right for them. Lettuce are anticipated to be delivered or available for pickup in EarlyMayFall.

Merlot lettuce is a visually stunning variety that features striking, dark red leaves with frilly edges. Its unique appearance makes it a standout in any garden, and it could even be used as an ornamental if it weren't so delicious. The lettuce heads are crisp and slightly open, standing upright and making it a perfect choice for salads at any age. With its intoxicating appeal and impressive flavor profile, Merlot lettuce is a must-have for any serious gardener or salad enthusiast.

Lettuce: Master the art of salad gardening with lettuce! From crisp romaine to tender butterhead, these easy-growing greens offer endless variety. Perfect for succession planting and cut-and-come-again harvesting, lettuce thrives in containers or beds. Plant heat-tolerant varieties for extended seasons, and enjoy restaurant-quality salads steps from your kitchen!

Growing Tips: Plant lettuce about 10 inches between heads (6 if they are a miniature variety) and keep them well watered. I like to put down a little straw mulch to help keep the soil moist. If they get very dry or very hot they may ‘bolt’ by trying to build a tall center stem with flowers. When they do they get more bitter so eat them quickly!
