Notes
'Red Saladbowl' lettuce (Lactuca sativa 'Red Saladbowl') is a vegetable for container growing and the food garden. 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 fast and stays 6 to 12 inches tall. You can pick the red leaves of this old favorite again and again, and it needs little care.
Pairs well with Giant Nobel spinach, Teddy dill, and Crokini F1 tomato.
