Notes
'Carlsbad' lettuce (Lactuca sativa 'Carlsbad') is a vegetable for containers, food gardens, and low maintenance beds. It is typically grown as an annual. Cool weather suits it, and it can take a light frost. This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist soil of most types. This romaine is grown for crunchy, juicy, sweet baby leaves. It grows at a rapid rate, so you can harvest young leaves soon after sowing.
Pairs well with Fern Leaf dill, Flashback Mix calendula, and Cherry Bomb tomato.
