Lettuce Red & Green Boston Mix

by Maureen Sullivan on April 17, 2014

Sun to partial shade. Allow 1 square foot per plant. Boston lettuce, aka butterhead, whether red or green has a silky leaved, buttery, blanched interior head. Our selections include a red-tinged variety that is better able to withstand heat than a dark red variety, and a quiet large green variety. The heads are fully sized for picking when the head feels dense and firm when squeezed.
