Botanical Interests Australe Butterhead Lettuce Organic Seeds
It's hard not to love this easy-to-grow lettuce. The stunning bright green leaves are dusted with almost iridescent bronze tips. "Australe" reminds us of a cross between a traditional butterhead due to its buttery texture and a mini romaine because of its upright growing habit. Harvest as baby greens around 21 days or as a full head at 55 days.
When to Sow Outside:Ā RECOMMENDED. 2 to 4 weeks before your average last frost date, and when soil temperature is at least 40Ā°F, ideally 60Ā°-70Ā°F. Successive Sowings: Every 3 weeks until 4 to 6 weeks before your average first fall frost date. Mild Climates: Sow in fall and winter for cool-season harvests.
When to Start Inside:Ā 4 to 6 weeks before your average last frost date, and in summer when soil temperatures are too warm (above 80Ā°F) to germinate lettuce seed.
