Notes
'Cristabel' lettuce (Lactuca sativa 'Cristabel') 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. It grows fast and stands erect. Its leaves are extra crunchy.
Pairs well with Bloomsdale spinach, Avalanche beet, and Moss Curled parsley.
