Notes

'Fusion' lettuce (Lactuca sativa 'Fusion') is a vegetable for containers, food gardens, and low maintenance beds. 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. It grows rapidly and is ready to harvest in 55 days.

Pairs well with Bloomsdale spinach, Peione parsley, Cilantro, and Honey Bee tomato.
