Lettuce Gilad
Delectable flavor on vigorous, very uniform plants.
Super tolerant of heat, bolting, and tip burn!
55 days. This lettuce looks as good as it tastes! A Romaine type with large, very strongly savoyed leaves, it sports vivid maroon and burgundy shades that just add to its plate appeal! You'll love its great disease resistance and yummy bite!
Very tolerant of heat, bolting, and tip burn, as well as resistant to Lettuce Mosaic Virus (LMV), Gilad is a great choice for beginning gardeners as well as those in warm climates. It grows quickly, with uniform (same-sized) heads of dramatically shaped leaves, packed with delicious flavor. Give it a try this season!
Lettuce thrives in cold weather and can be sown directly into the garden, starting in early spring. For an even earlier harvest, sow indoors; the seedlings don't mind transplanting. If a fall crop is desired, begin in late summer. Grow in single rows, plants spaced 18 inches apart, or in containers. Pkt is 200 seeds.
