For best results, sow seeds directly into well-prepared, organically enriched soil or into containers. Sow 0.5 to 1 cm deep, spacing plants 20 to 30 cm apart. Maintain regular irrigation and avoid overwatering to preserve leaf quality. Germination occurs in 7 to 14 days.
This lettuce thrives in full sun, but can tolerate light shade during hot spells to prevent bolting. Harvest the outer leaves as needed or cut the entire plant for a single harvest.
'Biondi' lettuce is a great choice for productive vegetable gardens and fresh, crisp dishes all year round.
