Red Sails Loose Leaf Lettuce Seeds (Organic)
Crimson Crunch Delight
Red Sails Loose Leaf Lettuce is a captivating cultivar renowned for its vibrant crimson-hued leaves and delightful taste. Originating from the Netherlands, this variety emerged as a result of selective breeding and has gained popularity for its visual appeal and palatable qualities.
The lettuce's striking appearance stems from its loose, frilly leaves that range from green to a rich, deep red, creating a visually striking addition to any garden or salad. Its flavor profile balances between mild and slightly peppery, offering a pleasant crunch and a refreshing, subtly sweet taste.
Cultivating Red Sails Loose Leaf Lettuce requires specific growing conditions. It thrives in well-drained, fertile soil with good moisture retention. Planting from seed involves sowing them thinly in shallow furrows, covering lightly with soil, and ensuring consistent watering. Adequate sunlight is essential for optimal growth; however, during hot weather, partial shade can prevent the leaves from becoming bitter.
This cultivar's adaptability makes it suitable for both garden beds and containers, enabling enthusiasts to grow it in various settings, such as gardens, balconies, or windowsills. Red Sails lettuce generally matures within 45 to 55 days after planting, providing a bountiful harvest of vibrant leaves for culinary use.
Red Sails Loose Leaf Lettuce is a fantastic choice for gardeners seeking not only aesthetic beauty but also a flavorful addition to their salads or dishes, making it a beloved staple in many home gardens and kitchens worldwide.

Planting & Care
Planting & Care
Soil & Water: Lettuce likes full sun except in hot summer climates where it prefers some shade, especially in the afternoon. Add plenty of compost to the soil to encourage rapid growth. Water evenly and moderately to prevent bitterness.
Planting & Growing: Start seeds indoors 4 weeks before transplanting outside, or sow seed directly as soon as the soil is workable. Make successive plantings every 10-14 days for a continuous harvest. In mild climates, lettuce can be sown from spring through fall.
Harvesting & Storage: You can begin harvesting outer leaves as soon as they are large enough and continue until a central stalk begins to form which signals the end of the harvest period. You can also harvest the entire plant when it's mature but still young and crisp.

from 9231 reviewsThe cute packaging caught my eye first. I love you can open it up sprinkle in the seeds you need to use, and then close it up for another time. It is compact and cute. I am eager to harvest my greens.
One of my favorites to grow…always get a good yield out of this one and the flavor is just…YUM!
I received these in August and they have braved the heat of the past 2 months. I have continued to water them to ensure they live. One tree looks much better than the other, although I see buds ready for next year on both. I can't wait for spring to see blooms, leaves and branches to begin.
huge bulbs made up of huge cloves; perfect quality for planting - very firm and paper in tact.
My order was prompt and just what I expected.
I purchased Elephant and Music garlic bulbs to plant in my zone 7 garden. They arrived as firm, healthy bulbs.
Heads were big with many large cloves. I am anticipating a great outcome in early summer 🧄
Our chickens love this forage.I was a little concerned growing this in south Florida however it is flourishing. Our new go to, thanks Peaceful Valley!
What a deal - top quality and only $20.99. Happy Frog is a premium brand.
I prepped my raised beds with Happy Frog Potting Soil. I love that it contains earthworms castings. Premium product!
Firm bulbs, excellent quality. I eagerly await the saffron harvest next Spring.
Lovely large bulbs, wonderful quality!
I planted a row of red chesnok. The color is stunning, excellent quality.
I just planted two rows of CA late white. Garlic bulbs look beautiful - great quality. Can't wait for harvest and for braiding time!
I have been ordering shallots from Grow Organic for a couple of years now. I had some problems with the shallots, I have to say they have the best customer service. I am a Master Gardener and have ordered 100's of different veggies seeds for years at many different companies as I buy seeds for the Master Garden's and never have experience such great customer service. I believe anything you buy from them you will be happy
