How to grow Lettuce 'Perpetual'

  • Partial Sun

  • High

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

Growing Perpetual 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. For optimal germination, soil temperature should be a minimum of 5°C / 41°F.

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

Transplanting Perpetual

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