Notes

'Bambi' lettuce (Lactuca sativa 'Bambi') is a vegetable for containers, food gardens, and low maintenance growing. It is typically grown as an annual. It handles cool weather and a light frost. This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist soil of most types. It is a Little Gem-type lettuce that makes mini heads. The plant grows rapidly, so you can sow it in spring or autumn.

Pairs well with Curly parsley, Alpha calendula, and Black Magic kale.
