1000 Seeds Mesclun Lettuce Mix Lactuca sativa Salad Greens Garden Planting

A colorful blend of loose-leaf lettuce varieties selected for tender baby-leaf harvests and mild, sweet flavor. This mesclun mix brings together green, red, and ruffled types that grow quickly and look attractive in beds, borders, and containers, offering a rewarding crop for both new and experienced gardeners.

Mesclun lettuce is grown for its young, delicate leaves, which are ideal for fresh salads, sandwiches, wraps, and garnishes. Leaves can be harvested as cut-and-come-again, allowing several pickings from a single sowing. Plants prefer cooler weather; sow in early spring or late summer to avoid heat-induced bolting. Thin seedlings for airflow and even growth, and keep soil consistently moist for the most tender leaves.
