WEST COAST SEEDS LETTUCE ROMAINE FRECKLES
This red-spotted, open romaine lettuce is sure to turn some heads. The mid-sized plant is open with glossy, green leaves flecked with maroon; making it a delightful and colourful addition to salad mixes. As the leaves get larger, the markings become even more prominent.

  • The leaves of Freckles lettuce are speckled, not blotchy, so they have quite an elegant look. And the flavour is excellent.
  • Freckles lettuce seeds, also known as Forellenschluss are an heirloom variety of Austrian lineage. Be sure to plant some Freckles lettuce seeds in your organic vegetable garden this spring.
  • Matures in 55-70 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.
