Description: .50g, Over 500 Super Red Romaine Lettuce Seeds Heirloom and NON-GMO Always Fresh Seeds for Your Garden A CRISP & COLORFUL FAVORITE FOR THE GARDEN Red Romaine is a heirloom variety that has been passed down from generation to generation. Like most lettuce varieties, it goes great in salads, adding the dark red color with a mild crunch. Red Romain prefers a cooler season, and will develop the best flavor and color within the Spring season, and in the early Months of Autumn.Lettuce originated in much of Egypt, where they cultivated it as a food. It later spread to other cultures around the globe. Many of the heirloom varieties that are available today, have lasted centuries, like Red Romaine. Lettuce is grown as an annual crop, and will go from seed to crop in a single growing season. The plants of Red Romaine are slow to bolt, but with patience they will eventually produce seeds, later in the Summer to fall season. Super Red Romaine Lettuce will be ready for harvest in roughly 50 to 55 days after first sprouts appear. It forms vase-shaped heads which can grow up to 12 inches (31 cm.) tall and 11-12 (28 cm.) inches wide. However, its outer leaves are usually harvested for garden fresh salads or a sweet, crisp addition to sandwiches, rather than the whole head being harvested at once. In addition to its long season and exceptional nutrition values, Super Red Romaine is resistant to lettuce mosaic virus and tipburn.Growing Super Red Romaine is no different than growing any lettuce plant. Seeds can be sown directly in the garden and will mature in about 50 to 55 days. They should be planted in rows set about 36 inches apart and thinned so that plants are no closer than 12 inches apart. Lettuce plants require about an inch of water per week for optimal growth. If growing Super Red Romaine lettuce during the hot summer months, they will require extra water to prevent bolting. Keeping the soil cool and moist with layers of mulch or straw will also help it grow through difficult weather. Keep in mind that like most lettuce types, slugs and snails can sometimes be a problem.Shipping Costs and Other InformationEconomy Shipping – No Tracking $0.78USPS First Class – Yes Tracking $3.79USPS Priority Mail – Yes Tracking $8.70 Within the US we use the US Postal Service.
