Hoja Verde Green Leaf Lettuce Plant
55 days. Widely adapted green leaf Batavia type with a strong tolerance to bolting and a consistent performance under different weather conditions. An excellent source of high quality medium dark green leaf lettuce for Spring or Fall cutting.
Lettuce is a cold-hardy, leafy vegetable grows best when temperatures fall somewhere between 45 and 80°F.
Plant your lettuce in the spring and/or in the fall, after the heat of summer has dissipated. Green leaf lettuce features tender, curly leaves best suited for sandwiches and salads that are seeking a nutritious upgrade. It is an excellent source of vitamin A, which contributes to healthy eyes and skin. The greener the leaf, the more nutrients it provides. For harvest, wait until the leaves in the center grow together and form an obvious elongated head. Then, with clean scissors or pruners, cut the entire plant off at the crown.
