Notes
'Rubygo' lettuce (Lactuca sativa 'Rubygo') 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. The red leaves are flavorful and slow to bolt. It is a one-cut type, so you can harvest the whole head at once.
Pairs well with Touchstone Gold beet, Fernleaf dill, and Persian basil.
