WEST COAST SEEDS LETTUCE COASTAL STAR ORGANIC
Our tallest, darkest romaine, Coastal Star Organic performs brilliantly in spring and fall, and even in winter with some protection from hard frost.

  • This romaine is early maturing with a high resistance to corky root. Heads are tightly packed around blanched tender hearts, and have an overall pleasant lettuce flavour.
  • Growth is very upright on plants that average around 30cm (1ft) tall. Even the outer wrapper leaves are held off the ground, so there no bottom rot issues.
  • The dark colour of Coastal Star is thought to represent a more nutritious lettuce than the paler romaines like Plato II.
  • Matures in 65 days. (Open-pollinated seeds)
  • Season: Cool Season
  • Exposure: Full sun to partial shade

    Growing Lettuce from Seed

  • Lettuce grows best in cool weather in the spring and fall, but it can be grown in the summer, and all winter long in milder regions.
  • Sow short rows every 2-3 weeks following the last average frost date for a continual harvest.
  • Using a cloche, cold frame, or greenhouse over mid-late summer plantings can extend the harvest period right into winter.
  • Optimal soil temperature for germination: 10-22°C (50-72°F). Seeds should sprout in 7-15 days, depending on conditions. Lettuce seeds don't sprout easily when the soil temperature is over 22°C (72°F) in summer.


    Companion Planting For Lettuce

  • Lettuce plants make good companions for beets, Brassicas, carrot, celery, chervil, cucumbers, dill, garlic, onions, radish, spinach, squash, and strawberries.
