Notes

'Ruby Sky' lettuce (Lactuca sativa 'Ruby Sky') is a vegetable for containers, food gardens, and low maintenance growing. It is typically grown as an annual. Cool weather suits it, and it can take a light frost. This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist soil of most types. It grows at a rapid pace and is ready to pick about 58 days after planting.

Pairs well with Peppermint Swiss chard, Fern Leaf dill, and Peione parsley.
