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: Grow Red Sails in cool weather and rich, well-drained soil. Keep the soil evenly moist to help prevent bitterness, and provide light, steady feeding because lettuce has shallow roots. Sow outdoors in early spring or late summer and harvest outer leaves as needed or cut the full head at maturity.
