Notes
'Coastal Star' lettuce (Lactuca sativa 'Coastal Star') is a vegetable for food gardens and containers. 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. The seed is open-pollinated, and the plant resists corky root. Plan on about 65 days to maturity.
Pairs well with Seaside spinach, Giant of Italy parsley, and Fern Leaf dill.
