• Planting Tips (Red Leaf Lettuce): Direct sow ¼–½" deep, 1–2" apart in loose soil (pH 6.0–7.0); germinates 4–10 days at 40–75°F; thin to 6–12" for full heads or harvest baby leaves earlier.
• Growing Tips (Red Leaf Lettuce): Full sun to part shade; cool temps (50–70°F); keep soil consistently moist (mulch heavily); harvest outer leaves for cut-and-come-again or full heads at maturity to avoid bitterness.
