Notes
'Merlot Lettuce' lettuce (Lactuca sativa 'Merlot Lettuce') is a vegetable for borders, 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. It stays about 12 inches tall and wide, so it fits easily into small spaces. Bees and butterflies visit it when it blooms.
Pairs well with Garlic, Beet/chard, Candy carrot, and Dill.
