Romaine lettuce 'Vivian'

Plant in a location that enjoys partial sun and remember to water often. Keep in mind when planting that Vivian 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. Vivian requires a loamy, potting mix and clay soil with a ph of 6.2 - 6.8 - it grows best in weakly acidic soil.

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 Vivian about 60 days before your last frost date.

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

Expect harvests to start to occur in mid summer.
