Notes
'Prizehead' lettuce (Lactuca sativa 'Prizehead') is a vegetable for containers and food gardens. It is typically grown as an annual. Cool weather suits it, and it can take a light frost. This plant likes full sun to part shade and average to moist, loamy soil. The ruffled leaves are light green with crimson hints. This lettuce is bolt resistant and is ready to harvest in about 45 days.
Pairs well with Glacier tomato, Fern Leaf dill, and Giant of Italy parsley.
