Lettuce 'Mini Green'

Sow seeds early in the spring as soon as the ground can be worked in rich well prepared soil. Thin seedlings to six inches apart.¹

Try to plant in a location that enjoys partial sun and remember to water often. Keep in mind when planting that Mini Green is thought of as tender, so remember to wait until your soil is warm and the night time temperature is well above freezing before moving outside. Mini Green requires a loamy soil with a ph of 5.8 - 6.8 - it grows best in weakly acidic soil.

Try to aim for a seed spacing of at least 5.85 inches (15.0 cm) and sow at a depth of around 0.49 inches (1.25 cm). Soil temperature should be kept higher than 5°C / 41°F to ensure good germination.

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

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

Same as the heirloom lettuce ‘Tennis Ball’.

Grown in Monticello by Thomas Jefferson.
