Notes
'Alboreto' lettuce (Lactuca sativa 'Alboreto') is a vegetable grown for baby leaf harvests, containers, and the food garden. It is typically grown as an annual. It shrugs off cool spells and light frost, though a hard freeze will damage it. This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist soil of most types. This red leaf lettuce has strong downy mildew resistance.
Pairs well with Giant Nobel spinach, Fern Leaf dill, Crokini F1 tomato, and Flashback Mix calendula.
