Notes

'Ice Queen Lettuce' (Lactuca sativa 'Ice Queen Lettuce') is a vegetable for containers, borders, 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. It grows about 12 inches tall and wide, so it fits easily in small spaces. Bees and butterflies visit it when it blooms.

Pairs well with Beet/chard, Candy carrot, Dill, and Garlic.
