Appearance: Red Sails leaf lettuce forms large, loose, ruffled leaves with red-bronze tips that deepen in color and blend into bright green centers.

Flavor: Leaves have a mild, tender, buttery flavor that works well in salads, sandwiches, wraps, and fresh garden mixes.

Growth Habit: This loose-leaf variety grows quickly and produces open heads that can be harvested as baby greens or allowed to mature for larger leaves.

Plant Spacing: Space plants 8–12” inches apart, with rows about 12–18 inches apart, to allow good airflow and easy harvesting.

Growing Notes: Sow indoors 3–4 weeks before the last spring frost, or outdoors 2 weeks before it at 55°F–70°F. Transplant 2–3 weeks before the last frost. Space 6–10 inches apart, or 4–6 inches for baby greens. Grow in full sun to partial shade; Red Sails and Red Salad Bowl tolerate some heat but benefit from summer afternoon shade.
