A space where it can thrive

Your care routine
Watering
Keep the shallow root zone evenly moist for crisp, tender leaves.
Soil & drainage
Fine, fertile, well-drained soil with organic matter.
Temperature
Plan sowing for the crop’s preferred season. Protect young plants and containers from severe frost; local conditions affect timing.
Planting
Sow small successive batches in cool weather. Thin leaf or head types according to their mature spread.
Harvest
Pick outer leaves on leaf types, or cut the developed head or romaine heart.
Through the seasons
Afternoon shade helps in warm weather. Replace bolting plants with a fresh sowing; old flowering plants become bitter.
When your plant needs help
- Pick outer leaves repeatedly rather than waiting for a firm cabbage-like head; cool moisture preserves quality.
