🌿 How to Grow Red Romaine Lettuce

Botanical Name: Lactuca sativa
Plant Type: Cool-season annual
Days to Germination: 5–10 days
Days to Maturity: 55–65 days (25–30 for baby greens)
Sunlight: Full sun to part shade
Soil: Loose, fertile, and well-drained with high organic matter

Direct sow outdoors as soon as the soil can be worked in early spring, or start indoors 4–6 weeks before your last frost. Red romaine prefers cooler temperatures, so also plant again in late summer for a fall harvest. Keep soil evenly moist and mulch to retain moisture.

🛠️ Growing Tips

• Harvest outer leaves as needed or cut the whole head at maturity.

• Great for cut-and-come-again growing—snip young leaves and let it regrow.

• Shade during warm spells to prevent bolting.

• Ideal companion for carrots, radishes, and onions.
