For optimal growth, plant during cooler periods of the growing season, such as early spring or fall, to avoid heat-induced stress.

Planting Instructions

• Soil Preparation: Ensure soil is well-draining and rich in organic matter.
• Sowing Depth: Plant seeds at a depth of 1/8 inch to ensure adequate light exposure for germination.
• Temperature Management: Maintain soil temperatures between 60°F and 70°F (15°C - 21°C) for consistent sprouting.
• Spacing: Thin seedlings to 6-8 inches apart to allow for proper air circulation and head development.
• Monitoring: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged during the germination phase.

When planting, avoid mixing these seeds with other varieties in the same container to ensure you can accurately monitor their specific growth stages and germination success. By following these environmental and spacing guidelines, you can support the healthy development of your lettuce crop from seed to harvest.
