Planting & Care

Sow Red Romaine Lettuce seeds directly in the garden as soon as the soil can be worked in spring, or start indoors 4-6 weeks before the last frost. For a continuous harvest, succession plant every 2-3 weeks. Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged, and provide afternoon shade in warmer climates to prevent bolting. Fertilize lightly with a balanced organic fertilizer if needed.

Harvest outer leaves when they are 4-6 inches tall, or wait for full heads to mature. Red Romaine is relatively pest-resistant but watch for slugs and aphids. With proper care, you can enjoy fresh, homegrown lettuce throughout the growing season.
