This convenient, pre-spaced tape ensures even germination and reduces the hassle of thinning seedlings. Romaine Lettuce develops elongated heads with long, ribbed leaves. The coarse outer leaves of this cool weather crop are dark green, while the inner leaves are a lighter green. This Romaine variety is of splendid quality for Caesar salad.
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.

"I have problems getting the seed tape to germinatè twice. However, I'm uncertain as to the reason. It's been a very wet spring and fall and other plants didn't fair well either. It has been frustrating but I am not blaming McKenzie for the issues with the seeds. As I said, I am just not sure what caused the problem"
"The lettuce sprouted up nicely. No complaints and it was nice to not have to measure the distance for seeds."
"I've over seed this time so it's not big and full like the other ones I've harvested. Tastes amazing and stored in the fridge for 3 weeks after picking"
"Seeded most of it, no sign of sprouting yet"
"Good germination and fast growth"
"Never any issues with McKenzie Seeds. All the plants are coming up!"
"I really like the seed tape. It works so nice when trying not to overplant. It germinates well. The lettuce always tastes great."
"Great flavour and slow to bolt"
"Seeds have spouted nicely and we have harvested a couple meals already. Doing well despite a dousing of liquid dish soap by my 2 year old Grandson!"
"Great tasting"
