Planting & Care

Sow Oak Leaf 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. Plant seeds 1/4 inch deep and keep the soil moist until germination, which typically occurs in 7-14 days. For a continuous harvest, sow seeds every 2-3 weeks. Lettuce prefers cool weather but this variety tolerates heat better than most; provide afternoon shade in hot climates to prevent bolting.

Keep plants well-watered, especially during dry spells, and mulch to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Harvest outer leaves when they are young and tender, or cut the entire plant at the base for a full head. Regular harvesting encourages new growth. With proper care, you can enjoy fresh, homegrown lettuce from spring through fall.
