Lettuce 'Yugoslavian Red'

This plant self-seeds itself, with only a shake of the plant when removing the spent “mother” plant. However, this area rarely freezes, so successive spring sowing every 2 weeks would be good.

Plant in a location that enjoys partial sun and remember to water often. Yugoslavian Red is generally regarded as a tender plant, so remember to ensure that temperatures are mild before moving outdoors. Yugoslavian Red needs a loamy soil with a ph of 6.2 to 6.8 (weakly acidic soil).

Aim to sow 0.49 inches (1.25 cm) deep and try to ensure a gap of at least 5.85 inches (15.0 cm). For optimal germination, soil temperature should be a minimum of 5°C / 41°F.

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

Yugoslavian Red is tender, so ensure you wait until all danger of frost has passed in your area before considering planting outside.
