Plant seeds about 1\/4 inch deep and keep the soil evenly moist until germination, which typically occurs in 7–14 days. Thin seedlings to the recommended spacing to allow for proper growth. For a continuous harvest, succession sow every 2–3 weeks. Provide consistent moisture and mulch to keep roots cool, especially in warmer weather.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRed Romaine is relatively low-maintenance. Water regularly, particularly during dry spells, and fertilize lightly if soil is poor. Harvest outer leaves as needed or cut the entire head at maturity. With its heat tolerance, this variety can be grown in both spring and fall, offering a longer season of fresh, colorful greens.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1000 Red Romaine Lettuce Seeds\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67776119898422,"sku":"FOLIA-194","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/4884\/8694\/files\/il_fullxfull.6654870448_9rnh.jpg?v=1792467916","url":"https:\/\/blakesflora.com\/products\/1000-red-romaine-lettuce-seeds-heirloom-heat-tolerant","provider":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
