Notice: 3 – piece collection
lettuce from top American
breeders. The plants form
open, loose heads of sword shaped
leaves that color up
to the most beautiful and
amazingly deep, mahogany-red
that we’ve seen in any lettuce
variety. Unlike other red lettuces
that fade in the sun, Sea
of Red’s color just gets more
intense. A true show-stopper
in the garden, these richly colored
leaves add gorgeous
contrast to other lettuces and
greens and make every salad a
special occasion.
START SEEDS OUTDOORS
In cool early spring weather, sow seeds in finely worked soil in full sun. Sow seeds about one inch apart in seed beds or containers. Cover lightly and evenly with 1/4 inch of fine soil. Firm soil gently and water with a fine spray. Keep seedbed evenly moist. Make small successive sowings until summer weather turns hot for a constant supply. Plant again in late summer for fall harvesting.
GROWING NOTES
Sea of Red will thrive in mild weather with consistent moisture. To extend the sowing season into hot weather, sow in light shade or erect a canopy of loosely woven shade cloth over the bed. Birds are often attracted to tender young seedlings, so protect them if necessary.
HARVEST AND USE
To harvest, wait until the plants form open, loose heads and are about 6 inches tall. Cut as much as you need, using scissors to shear off a patch of leaves about 1 to 2 inches above the soil level. Water well and fertilize lightly. If weather is cool, plants will re-grow for another cutting. The sword-shaped leaves with their beautiful deep red color will enhance any salad bowl and add interest to any sandwich.
