Growing Guide: Romaine Lettuce

Overview

Romaine lettuce is a cool-season leafy green prized for its crisp, upright heads and mild, sweet flavor. The Romaine Trio Blend combines three romaine types to add color and garden interest while providing fresh, crunchy leaves for salads and sandwiches.

Before Planting

Choose a fertile site with well-drained soil and ample sunlight. Lettuce prefers cooler soil temperatures around 60–65°F and can tolerate light frost. Sow succession plantings every few weeks for a continuous harvest.

Planting

Sow seeds directly outdoors once soil can be worked, placing them 1/8 inch deep. Space seedlings 10–12 inches apart with 18 inches between rows to allow room for heads to develop. Alternatively, start seeds indoors 3–4 weeks before transplanting.

Watering

Keep soil consistently moist. Lettuce has shallow roots, so regular watering supports steady growth and prevents bitterness.

Fertilizing

Work compost or balanced fertilizer into the soil before planting to ensure nutrient-rich conditions. Lettuce grows quickly and benefits from steady nutrients.

Days to Maturity

Romaine Trio Blend typically matures in about 46 days, depending on conditions and planting season.

Harvesting

Harvest full heads by cutting at the soil line once they reach desired size. You can also harvest outer leaves for baby greens. Morning harvest and cool storage preserve crispness.

Growing Tips

Plant for spring and fall crops to avoid summer heat, which can cause bolting. Mixing color varieties enhances visual appeal in salads and garden beds.
