Notes
'Green Forest' lettuce (Lactuca sativa 'Green Forest') is a vegetable for food gardens and containers. 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, and it is ready to pick in 56 days. Low upkeep makes it a good choice for new gardeners.
Pairs well with Spinach, Fernleaf dill, and Hot Streak tomato.
