Rouge de Hiver Lettuce is a classic French variety with a crisp texture and rich, deep red leaves. These seeds are perfect for growing in a variety of conditions, making them a great option for home gardeners and market growers alike. The leaves are tender and sweet, making them a perfect addition to any salad or sandwich. The plants are slow to bolt, making them an ideal choice for growers looking for a long harvest season. When grown in full sun, the red leaves will deepen in color, adding visual interest to your garden. These seeds are easy to grow and will produce a bountiful crop in just 60 to 75 days. Start seeds indoors 4 to 6 weeks before the last frost date, or sow directly in the garden when temperatures are warm. Provide plenty of moisture and keep the soil evenly moist to encourage strong growth and prevent bitter flavor. Enjoy the sweet and tender leaves of Rouge de Hiver Lettuce in your salads, sandwiches, and garnishes for a unique and flavorful addition to your meals.
