Planting & Care

Sow Bronze Mignonette lettuce seeds directly in the garden as soon as the soil can be worked in spring, or start indoors 4-6 weeks before the last frost. For a continuous harvest, sow seeds every 2-3 weeks until early summer, and again in late summer for a fall crop. Keep the soil evenly moist during germination and growth; avoid letting it dry out completely. Thin seedlings to the recommended spacing to allow for healthy development.

Provide partial shade in hotter climates to prevent bolting. Harvest outer leaves when they are young and tender, or cut the entire plant at the base for a single harvest. Regular harvesting encourages new growth. Monitor for common pests like aphids and slugs, and maintain good air circulation to reduce disease risk.
