Lettuce 'Kweik'

Plant in a location that enjoys partial sun and remember to water often. Keep in mind when planting that Kweik is thought of as tender, so it is imperative to wait until temperatures are mild before planting out of doors. Kweik requires a loamy soil with a ph of 6.2 - 6.8 - it grows best in weakly acidic soil.

Ensure a distance of 5.85 inches (15.0 cm) between seeds when sowing - look to sow at a depth of approximately 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 Kweik about 60 days before your last frost date.

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

By our calculations, you should look at planting out Kweik about 45 days before your last frost date.

Expect harvests to start to occur in early autumn.
