Lettuce 'Batavian rouge'

Try to plant in a location that enjoys partial sun and remember to water often. Keep in mind when planting that Batavian rouge is thought of as tender, so it is imperative to wait until temperatures are mild before planting out of doors. Batavian rouge needs a loamy soil with a ph of 5.8 to 6.8 (weakly acidic soil).

Ensure a distance of 7.8 inches (20.0 cm) between seeds when sowing - look to sow at a depth of approximately 0.27 inches (0.7 cm). Soil temperature should be kept higher than 5°C / 41°F to ensure good germination.

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