How to grow Lettuce 'Red and Green'

  • Partial Sun

  • High

Try to plant in a location that enjoys partial sun and remember to water often. Keep in mind when planting that Red and Green is thought of as tender, so remember to wait until your soil is warm and the night time temperature is well above freezing before moving outside. Ideally plant in loamy soil and try to keep the ph of your soil between the range of 5.8 and 6.8 as Red and Green likes to be in weakly acidic soil.

Growing Red and Green from seed

By our calculations, you should look at sowing Red and Green about 53 days before your last frost date.

Transplanting Red and Green

Ensure that temperatures are mild and all chance of frost has passed before planting out, as Red and Green is a tender plant.
