Red & Green Romaines Caesar Duo Lettuce Seed Mix

Description

The Garden Red & Green Romaines Caesar Duo, a distinctive cultivar, is a blend of two romaine lettuce varieties cherished for their flavor and visual appeal. Romaine lettuce, scientifically known as Lactuca sativa, originated in the Mediterranean region and has become a staple in various cuisines worldwide.

This Caesar Duo presents an alluring aesthetic with a blend of dark red and vibrant green leaves. The contrast between the colors creates an eye-catching visual in gardens or containers, adding ornamental value to its culinary appeal.

In terms of taste, both red and green romaine lettuce varieties offer a mild, slightly sweet flavor with a crisp texture. The combination of these two varieties provides a delightful balance of flavors, enhancing salads and various dishes with their unique taste and appealing appearance.

Cultivating the Garden Red & Green Romaines Caesar Duo from seed requires specific growing conditions. These lettuce varieties thrive in moderate climates with well-draining, fertile soil and prefer cooler temperatures for optimal growth. Planting from seed involves sowing them directly in the garden or containers, placing seeds about a quarter-inch deep and spacing them 8-12 inches apart.

Consistent moisture is crucial during germination and growth. Adequate sunlight, at least 6 hours daily, supports healthy leaf development and vibrant coloration. As lettuce prefers cooler conditions, providing shade during hot periods prevents premature bolting and bitterness in the leaves.
