Salad Bowl Lettuce

crazyforgardeningComment(0)

I’ve been growing Salad Bowl Lettuce for a few years. It is a loose leaf type of lettuce.

Best Features: 

1) Salad Bow Lettuce is heat tolerant so the leaves stay sweeter not bitter in the heat.

2) The leaves are lobed.

3) There are two color choices red and green.  I purchased a seed packet that has both colors in it from Botanical Interests.

 

Green Salad Bowl Lettuce

4) Typically Salad Bowl Lettuce will get up to 8 inches tall and wide.  While it can be grown to maturity, it is also popular as a baby leaf lettuce.

5) It matures within 50 days.

6) Salad Bowl Lettuce is open pollinated so you can save the seeds.

7) It is an award winner!

While Salad Bowl Lettuce is heat tolerant, there are cold tolerant varieties like Black Seeded Simpson.
