Notes
'Spearhead' lettuce (Lactuca sativa 'Spearhead') is a vegetable for containers, food gardens, and low maintenance growing. 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 has an upright habit, so you can pick leaves soon after planting.
Pairs well with Dill, Garlic, Beet/chard, and Candy carrot.
