How to grow Lettuce 'Lolita'

  • Partial Sun

  • High

Try to plant in a location that enjoys partial sun and remember to water often. Keep in mind when planting that Lolita 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. Lolita requires a loamy soil with a ph of 5.8 - 6.8 - it grows best in weakly acidic soil.

Growing Lolita from seed

Look to ensure a distance 7.8 inches (20.0 cm) between seeds when sowing - bury at a depth of at least 0.27 inches (0.7 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 Lolita about 53 days before your last frost date.

Transplanting Lolita

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