Notes
'Antonet' lettuce (Lactuca sativa 'Antonet') is a vegetable for containers, food gardens, and low maintenance beds. 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. The bright red Lollo type forms a good head size and grows at a rapid pace.
Pairs well with Curly parsley, Fernleaf dill, and Black Magic kale.
