Prepare a fine seedbed for Metta Lettuce Mix and keep the shallow sowing zone evenly moist while seedlings emerge. Thin according to the intended harvest stage: closer spacing can suit young leaves, while mature heads need more room. In warming weather, evaluate soil moisture and plant condition frequently instead of following a universal schedule. Pick outer leaves or cut mature plants at the stage you prefer. Record sowing and harvest dates to refine timing for the next planting.

Buttercrunch Bibb offers buttery, sweet leaves with a mild crunch, making it a classic favorite.

Tango lettuce brings a vibrant green color and a peppery kick to the mix.

Finally, Hyper-Red Rumpled Wave lettuce is a visual stunner, featuring deeply ruffled leaves with a bright red tint and a refreshing, crisp taste.

Because this packet contains a mix, component proportions and the number of varieties visible in a small planting will vary. Emergence, growth rate, mature size, color, and harvest or bloom timing can also differ among components and with site conditions. Evaluate the planting across the full season rather than assuming the first seedlings, flowers, or harvest represent the entire mix.
