Parris Island Romaine Lettuce
Romaine lettuce, also called cos lettuce, is the classic choice for Caesar salads. This heat tolerant lettuce features 8-10" upright green leaves with firm, crispy mid-ribs. Slower to bolt (send up a seed stalk) than other lettuces.
Planting
Lettuce prefers cool weather. Select a location with full sun, or part shade in hot areas. Sow in early spring, or fall/winter in mild climates. Keep soil evenly moist for best growth. Thin regularly. Lettuce does not like to be crowded.
