Lolla Rossa Lettuce is also known as Lollo Rossa and Continental Red lettuce. It is is a cut-and-come-again lettuce. The lettuce is small to medium in size, averaging 15-20 centimeters in diameter, and grows in a tightly compact, rosette shape. The frilly and curled, fan-shaped leaves are light green in the center and transition to a deep copper red around the edges. Connected at a central base, the leaves do not form a head and are made up of single branches. The leaves are tender, crisp, and chewy with a sweet and nutty flavor.
Growing Lolla Rossa Lettuce
- For an early start, Lettuce Seeds can be started in flats 4 weeks prior to the last frost and transplanted outdoors in mid to late spring.
- Sow seed 1/8 inch deep, 1 inch apart in rows 12 to 18 inches apart.
- When plants have two or three true leaves, thin to 12-inch spacing for crisphead varieties, 6 to 10 inches for other types.
- You can also lightly broadcast seed (particularly of loose-leaf varieties) in a patch instead of a row.
- Lettuce has a shallow root system. Keep soil moist to keep plants growing continuously. Mulch to retain moisture and suppress weeds.
- Lettuce is tolerant of a wide range of soils, but prefers well-drained, cool, loose soil with plentiful moisture and pH 6.2 to 6.8.
