Red Romaine lettuce

Garden uses

Notes

'Red Romaine' lettuce (Lactuca sativa 'Red Romaine') 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. This lettuce is grown for crunchy red leaves with a sweet, savory flavor and for Caesar salad. It takes about 70 days to harvest.

Pairs well with Cilantro, Dill, Broccoli, and Cucumber.
