How to grow Butterhead lettuce 'Sangria'

  • Partial Sun

  • High

Try to plant in a location that enjoys partial sun and remember to water often. Keep in mind when planting that Sangria 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. Try to keep the ph of your soil between the range of 6.2 and 6.8 as Sangria likes to be in weakly acidic soil.

Growing Sangria from seed

Try to aim for a seed spacing of at least 5.85 inches (15.0 cm) and sow at a depth of around 0.49 inches (1.25 cm). Soil temperature should be kept higher than 5°C / 41°F to ensure good germination.

By our calculations, you should look at sowing Sangria about 60 days before your last frost date.

Transplanting Sangria

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