This lettuce blend from Botanical Interests is called Valentine Lettuce and contains various varieties with red leaves. Â This blend is great for edging your raised beds as it provides a nice contrast to all of the green vegetable plants.
The varieties in this seed packet include the following:
- Marvel of Four Seasons (butterhead)
- Lolla Rossa (looseleaf)
- Redina (looseleaf)
- Red Oak Leaf (looseleaf)
- Red Salad Bowl (looseleaf)
- Rouge d’Hiver (romaine)
- Ruben’s Red (romaine)
The different varieties mature between 21 and 68 days according to the seed packet.
Some of the varieties tolerate the summer heat such as Lolla Rossa. Some prefer the cooler weather such as Rouge d’Hiver. Some tolerate both types of weather such as Red Salad Bowl and Marvel of Four Seasons.
Sowing and growing lettuce is so easy.
Since there are lots of varieties of lettuce, I like the blended seed packets. There are lots of seed ideas for lettuce.
