Lettuce Jericho
These beautiful heads are packed with 2 to 3 pounds of sweet, crisp leaves!
These 14- to 16-inch-high heads weigh in at a surprising 2 to 3 pounds, packed with scrumptious leaves. The bright green color is attractive, but it's the sweet, crisp flavor of Jericho that makes it a winner every time.
Jericho stands up to tip burn as well as heat, and won't bolt when summer arrives early. It tolerates both powdery and downy mildew, making it an excellent choice for gardeners in humid and rainy climates. In other words, Jericho is an all-around top performer!
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.
