Lettuce 'Gourmet Blend'

Plant in a location that enjoys partial sun and remember to water often. Keep in mind when planting that Gourmet Blend is thought of as tender, so it is really important to ensure that the outside temperature is well above freezing before planting or moving outdoors. Gourmet Blend requires a loamy soil with a ph of 6.2 - 6.8 - it grows best in weakly acidic soil.

Look to ensure a distance 5.85 inches (15.0 cm) between seeds when sowing - bury at a depth of at least 0.49 inches (1.25 cm) deep. Soil temperature should be kept higher than 5°C / 41°F to ensure good germination.

By our calculations, you should look at sowing Gourmet Blend about 60 days before your last frost date.

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

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

Expect harvests to start to occur in early autumn.
