Notes
'Dark Red Lollo Rossa' lettuce (Lactuca sativa 'Dark Red Lollo Rossa') is a vegetable for containers and food gardens. 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 or part sun and average to moist soil of most types. Its heavily frilled green leaves have dark red edges. It grows fast and needs little care.
Pairs well with Bloomsdale spinach, Bright Lights Swiss chard, and Dukat dill.
