How to grow Romaine lettuce 'Claremont'

  • Partial Sun

  • High

Try to plant in a location that enjoys partial sun and remember to water often. Claremont is generally regarded as a tender plant, so it is really important to plant out well after your last frost date. Claremont needs a loamy, potting mix and clay soil with a ph of 5.8 to 6.8 (weakly acidic soil).

Growing Claremont from seed

Sow at a depth of approx. 0.49 inches (1.25 cm) and aim for a distance of at least 5.85 inches (15.0 cm) between Romaine lettuce plants. For optimal germination, soil temperature should be a minimum of 5°C / 41°F.

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

Transplanting Claremont

Claremont is tender, so ensure you wait until all danger of frost has passed in your area before considering planting outside.
