Lettuce 'Esmeralda'

Try to plant in a location that enjoys partial sun and remember to water often. Keep in mind when planting that Esmeralda 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. Planting Esmeralda in loamy soil with a ph of between 5.8 and 6.8 is ideal for as it does 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 Esmeralda about 53 days before your last frost date.

As Esmeralda is tender, ensure temperatures are mild enough to plant out - wait until after your last frost date to be on the safe side.
