Notes
'Bronze Mignonette' lettuce (Lactuca sativa 'Bronze Mignonette') is a vegetable for food gardens and containers. 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 sun to part shade and average to moist, loamy soil. It forms a low mound of small bronze leaves that grow fast. The leaves are crisp, crunchy, and slightly sweet, and they are ready to harvest in about 50 days.
Pairs well with Moss Curled parsley, Persian basil, and Sashimi cucumber.
