Notes
'Salvius' lettuce (Lactuca sativa 'Salvius') 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 or part sun and average to moist soil of most types. It grows fast and is ready to pick in 58 days. Its low upkeep suits busy gardeners.
Pairs well with Peppermint Swiss chard, Fern Leaf dill, and Margold tomato.
