  • Partial Sun

  • High

Try to plant in a location that enjoys partial sun and remember to water often. Keep in mind when planting that Royal Oakleaf is thought of as tender, so it is really important to plant out well after your last frost date. Ideally plant in loamy soil and try to keep the ph of your soil between the range of 5.8 and 6.8 as Royal Oakleaf likes to be in weakly acidic soil.

Growing Royal Oakleaf 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 Lettuce plants. Soil temperature should be kept higher than 5°C / 41°F to ensure good germination.

By our calculations, you should look at sowing Royal Oakleaf about 53 days before your last frost date.

Transplanting Royal Oakleaf

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