It is a cool weather crop and grows best at temperatures of 16-18°C. Seeds germinate even at low, 4°C, soil temperature, but poorly above 24°C. Sow seeds 2.5cm apart in rows 25-30cm apart. Lightly cover and keep moist. Enjoy thinnings ultimately leaving 25cm between plants. Ample water grows the sweetest lettuce. Careful variety selection is important for hot weather plantings. Sow every 3 weeks for a continuous supply of fresh lettuce.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"tf","offers":[{"title":"Packet","offer_id":41980178694206,"sku":"SQ1321-A","price":5.5,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1000 seeds","offer_id":41980178726974,"sku":"SQ1321-B","price":9.45,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"5000 seeds","offer_id":41980178759742,"sku":"SQ1321-C","price":29.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0632\/3181\/9838\/files\/HeadCardinal1.jpg?v=1756884564"},{"product_id":"lettuce-rosenkrantz","title":"Lettuce Crisphead 'Rosenkrantz'","description":"\u003cp data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\" style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\" class=\"\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0632\/3181\/9838\/files\/demetersmall.jpg?v=1757492177\"\u003eLactuca Sativa\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\" style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\" class=\"\"\u003eA more compact and refined crisphead with dark red blush and red splashes that blanch a tightly folded whorl of a head.
