Also known as celtuce or stem lettuce, it offers a dual harvest of leaves and peeled stems that can be sliced into stir-fries, pickles, or fresh salads, making it a rewarding and unusual addition to the home garden. It grows best in cool weather and can be succession-planted for a steady supply through spring and fall. The young leaves can be used like standard lettuce, while the mature stems develop a delicate nutty taste and remain crisp when cooked briefly. Because it is easy to grow and slow to bolt in mild temperatures, it suits both beginner and experienced gardeners looking for something different.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSpecies: Lactuca sativa var. angustana\u003cbr\u003e\nVariety: New Yu Mai\u003cbr\u003e\nType: Annual vegetable\u003cbr\u003e\nPlant_Habit: Upright rosette with tall thick stem\u003cbr\u003e\nSun: Full sun to partial shade\u003cbr\u003e\nSoil: Well-drained, fertile, moisture-retentive loam\u003cbr\u003e\nDays_to_Harvest: 60-90\u003cbr\u003e\nZones: 4-9\u003cbr\u003e\nGermination: 7-14 days at 60-70F\u003cbr\u003e\nSowing: Start indoors or direct sow after last frost, sow 1\/4 inch deep\u003cbr\u003e\nSpacing: 8-12 inches apart in rows 12-18 inches apart\u003cbr\u003e\nNotes: Harvest stems when 12-18 inches tall and still tender\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67664760635528,"sku":"AGY-442","price":12.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0717\/4648\/6408\/files\/il_fullxfull.7825072477_sude_3a93da0b-a1e7-4904-b75e-9e79bd096ac7.jpg?v=1791898675","url":"https:\/\/www.natesgardensupply.com\/products\/500-asparagus-lettuce-new-yu-mai-seeds-stem-lettuce-celtuce-chinese-lettuce-cool-season-vegetable-garden-seeds","provider":"Nate's Garden Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
