Lettuce- Cos Verdi

Description

Cos Verdi Lettuce is a robust, elegant variety that produces elongated, crisp, and tender leaves with a delightful mild flavor. Known for its strong resistance to bolting in warmer conditions, this romaine-style lettuce is perfect for fresh salads or wraps. The thick, crunchy leaves and its rich green color make it an attractive choice for garden growers looking for both quality and consistency.

Features:

Mild, Sweet Flavor: Enjoys a crisp and crunchy texture with a slightly sweet taste, ideal for a refreshing addition to your meals.

Bolt Resistant: Grows well during warmer weather without quickly bolting, giving a long harvest window.

Compact Growth: The tight, upright growth habit makes it suitable for small spaces.

Good Yields: Offers a steady and generous harvest of tender leaves.

Planting Instructions:

Sow Time: Plant seeds directly into the soil 2-3 weeks before the last expected frost, or in mid-summer for a fall harvest.

Soil Type: Prefers well-drained, fertile soil enriched with organic matter.

Spacing: Sow seeds about 1 inch apart and thin them to 6-8 inches between plants when they grow larger.

Sun Exposure: Thrives in full sun or partial shade, with cooler weather providing optimal growing conditions.

Watering: Maintain consistent moisture levels without over-watering; soggy soil can stunt growth.

Care Tips:

Temperature Sensitivity: Ideally grows in temperatures between 50°F and 75°F.

Lettuce thrives best in a light, consistent feeding schedule with a balanced fertilizer.

Regularly check for pests such as aphids or slugs, which can damage young leaves.
