Notes
'Tennis Ball Lettuce' (Lactuca sativa 'Tennis Ball Lettuce') is a vegetable for food gardens, containers, and borders. 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 stays small at about 12 inches tall and wide, so it fits easily in a pot or along a bed edge.
Pairs well with Dill, Garlic, Beet/chard, and Candy carrot.
