Notes
'Sandy' lettuce (Lactuca sativa 'Sandy') is a vegetable for containers, food gardens, and low maintenance beds. 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 fast, so you can sow it in spring, summer, or autumn for repeat harvests. The plant stays erect and won an All-America Selections award.
Pairs well with Dill, Beet/chard, Candy carrot, and Garlic.
