Notes
'Powerhouse' lettuce (Lactuca sativa 'Powerhouse') is a vegetable for containers, food gardens, and low maintenance beds. It is typically grown as an annual. It handles cool weather and a light frost. This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist soil of most types. It is grown for crunchy, baby-leaf red romaine with a narrow petiole. It grows at a rapid rate, so you can harvest young leaves soon.
Pairs well with Seaside spinach, Moss Curled parsley, and Long Island Mammoth dill.
