Pre-spaced seeds in biodegradable tape ensure uniform planting and consistent growth. Grand Rapids is the best-known loose-leaf lettuce variety. This variety produces medium to large upright, light green leaves. The mild and flavorful leaves are frilled and crisp. Being an exceptionally fast grower, it is the earliest to bear. This cool-season plant is slow to bolt and can be grown later in the spring than most other varieties.
Please Note: Seed tapes require consistent moisture to ensure the best germination.
Plant near chives, onions, oregano, peas, radish, basil, zinnia. Chives, onions, and garlic can repel aphids and other pests by disguising the scent of the lettuce with their own aromatic properties. Basil is believed to enhance both the taste and development of lettuce. Radishes can serve as a useful decoy crop to attract flea beetles away from lettuce.
Lettuce seeds should be sown directly into the garden when the soil is warm and all danger of frost is past. Optimum soil temperature (not air temperature) should be 5-27°C (40-81°F) for seeds to germinate. Planting at a lower temperature will delay germination. Prepare the soil for planting. Make shallow rows 13 mm (1/2 in.) deep and 30 cm (12 in.) apart. Tear strips apart and unroll into rows. Water the Seedtape thoroughly, then cover with 1.3 cm (1/2 in.) of soil and water thoroughly again. It is critical to keep the soil consistently moist, but not soggy during germination. Do not allow the soil to become dry, as young plants have underdeveloped roots and can quickly dehydrate, particularly in windy conditions. Lettuce grows quickly and more seeds can be succession planted every 3 weeks until August for a continuous supply of lettuce. more seeds can be succession planted every 3 weeks until August for a continuous supply of lettuce.

"I have planted this variety of lettuce for several years now and it is my favourite green leaf lettuce. very tasty and produces a ton of leaves. It is quite heat tolerant and I have never had it bolt. I just break off the leaves as needed and leave the main plant in the ground to produce more."
