How to grow Lettuce 'Hanson'

  • Partial Sun

  • High

Try to plant in a location that enjoys partial sun and remember to water often. Keep in mind when planting that Hanson is thought of as tender, so it is really important to ensure that the outside temperature is well above freezing before planting or moving outdoors. Hanson needs a loamy soil with a ph of 5.8 to 6.8 (weakly acidic soil).

Growing Hanson from seed

Look to ensure a distance 5.85 inches (15.0 cm) between seeds when sowing - bury at a depth of at least 0.49 inches (1.25 cm) deep. Soil temperature should be kept higher than 5°C / 41°F to ensure good germination.

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

Transplanting Hanson

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