description

Organic Gourmet Lettuce Mix (Lactuca sativa) is a flavourful gourmet lettuce mix that combines several varieties of green and red lettuce into one colourful, productive planting. This premium spring mix lettuce offers a beautiful assortment of textures, from tender to lightly crisp, making it easy to harvest fresh, vibrant salads straight from the garden. Fast growing and highly productive, this mixed lettuce blend can be harvested at the baby leaf stage for tender greens or allowed to mature for larger leaves. Its ornamental appeal is equally impressive, with contrasting shades that brighten vegetable gardens, raised beds, containers, and urban growing spaces.

Easy to grow, this lettuce mix can be sown directly in the garden or in containers from April through August in rich, cool, well-drained soil. This versatile garden mix lettuce performs best in full sun during spring and benefits from partial shade during hot weather to maintain tender, high-quality foliage. Regular watering helps keep the soil evenly moist, supports vigorous growth, and reduces bolting. Successive sowings every two to three weeks provide a continuous harvest of fresh mix green lettuce throughout the growing season.

Ideal for fresh salads, mesclun blends, sandwiches, wraps, and garnishes, this gourmet lettuce mix is perfectly suited to family vegetable gardens, raised beds, planters, and small urban spaces. The diverse mixed lettuce leaves pair beautifully with radishes, carrots, cucumbers, and many other garden vegetables, creating productive and attractive plantings. Frequent harvesting encourages continuous new growth and maximizes yields from a small space. If a few plants are allowed to flower, their small pale yellow blossoms attract bees and beneficial insects, making this spring mix lettuce a valuable addition to a healthy, biodiverse organic garden.
