Notes

'Summer Crisp' lettuce (Lactuca sativa 'Summer Crisp') is a vegetable for containers and food gardens that needs little care. 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. It grows fast and stands upright, so you can sow it in spring, summer, or autumn.

Pairs well with Giant Nobel spinach, Ruby Queen beet, Fern Leaf dill, and Giant of Italy parsley.
