Lettuce 'Red fire'

Red fire likes a position of partial sun and remember to water often. Keep in mind when planting that Red fire is thought of as tender, so it is really important to plant out well after your last frost date. Ideally plant in loamy soil and try to keep the ph of your soil between the range of 5.8 and 6.8 as Red fire likes to be in weakly acidic soil.

Sow at a depth of approx. 0.49 inches (1.25 cm) and aim for a distance of at least 5.85 inches (15.0 cm) between Lettuce plants. Soil temperature should be kept higher than 5°C / 41°F to ensure good germination.

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

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