Forellenschluss Lettuce – Romaine Type

58 days. Literally translates to "Speckled Trout", this Austrian lettuce has gorgeous green leaves with maroon markings throughout. Leaves are very crispy with thick midribs. Excellent for fall planting – very cold tolerant. Grows quickly in cold weather but will bolt in heat. Holds its excellent flavor even after it starts to bolt.
Lettuce is a cool-weather crop that thrives in the temperature range 60-65 degrees F, and if thoroughly hardened, most varieties survive temperatures as low as 20 degrees F. Cold-adapted varieties survive much lower temperatures. Seed germinates best at about 75 degrees F. Lettuce seed will germinate at a temperature as low as 40 degrees F. Early spring plantings should be made as hardened transplants from seed started one month before setting outdoors. Later plantings can be direct-seeded. Sow seed 1/4" deep and thin to 10-16" apart depending on the variety. Loose-leaf varieties may be planted more closely but good air circulation should be maintained around the plants. Soil should be cool and moist during the germination period.
