Notes
'NEW Bigelow' lettuce (Lactuca sativa 'NEW Bigelow') is a vegetable for containers and food gardens, and it needs little care. 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 at a rapid rate with an erect habit, so you can expect quick harvests.
Pairs well with Touchstone Gold beet, Long Island Mammoth dill, and Galahad tomato.
