The listing, New Package! Hanson Lettuce has ended.
70 to 80 days — The heads are large, yellowish-green with frilled leaves and white hearts. Like other head-type lettuce plants, you must thin your plantings so that the plants are not crowded allowing heads to develop.
The thinned plants (culls) should not be wasted. They make a great salad as a leaf lettuce. Additionally, when the mature heads are harvested, we still find the outer leaves to be tasty and perfectly suited for salads . . . bonus food. When you buy head lettuce at the market, all you are getting are the hearts.
This variety was released sometime prior to 1855. Does well in heat. Each packet contains one gram, which is approximately 500 to 600 seeds.
