Notes

'Cimmaron' lettuce (Lactuca sativa 'Cimmaron') is a vegetable for containers, food gardens, and low maintenance plantings. It is typically grown as an annual. It grows well in cool weather and can ride out a light frost. This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist soil of most types. It grows fast and reaches maturity in about 60 days. The seed is open-pollinated, so you can save seed from your best plants.

Pairs well with America spinach, Early Wonder Tall Top beet, Dukat dill, and Santo cilantro.
