Lactuca, Loose-Leaf Lettuce 'Grand Rapids' Heirloom
- Sun Preference
- Full-Sun, Part-Sun
Description
Grand Rapids has tightly curled, crisp, light green leaves with a sweet flavor for delicious salads anytime. A favorite of gardeners, this loose-leaf variety is slow to bolt for an extended harvest after other types have finished for the season.
Lettuce prefers cool weather. Select a location with full sun, or partial shade in hot areas. Sow in early spring or fall, or in winter in mild climates. Keep soil evenly moist for best growth. Thin regularly. Lettuce does not like to be crowded. Harvest by cutting no more than 1/3 of a single plant’s leaves at soil level for continuous regrowth.
Lactuca sativa
