Lettuce 'Merlot'
(Looseleaf, 60 days)
300 seeds $3.00
HomeMerlot is the darkest red lettuce we've ever grown. It's also the last one to bolt in the garden. However, it is very slow growing and not productive enough to be a main crop. So I grow it in my flower gardens as a red foliage plant.
Open-pollinated from Holland. Introduced to the U.S. by Sheperd Ogden.
Sowing Lettuce 'Merlot' Seeds
Sow lettuce seeds outdoors in early spring. Sow on the surface in very shallow furrows, or cover lightly with soil. Thin to 8" apart. Full sun to part shade.
