Notes
'Muir' lettuce (Lactuca sativa 'Muir') 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 sun to part shade and average to moist, loamy soil. Muir is a Batavian type, a cross between crisphead and butterhead lettuce. It forms attractive rosettes and is ready to harvest in about 55 days.
Pairs well with Itachi cucumber, Santo cilantro, and Long Island Mammoth dill.
