This lettuce is easy to grow in the ground or in pots and can be sown almost all year round. Prepare a well-drained soil rich in organic matter, and sow directly on the surface or at a shallow depth. The seeds germinate quickly, between 7 and 14 days, and the plants reach full maturity in just a few weeks.
For best results, place lettuce in full sun and provide regular irrigation to maintain consistent moisture. Harvest outer leaves as they grow to prolong production and benefit from successive harvests.
Batavia 'Coraly' lettuce is an ideal choice for gardeners looking to combine aesthetics, flavor and ease of cultivation!
