Lettuce Romaine Parris Island (Heirloom)
Lactuca sativa
Days to maturity: 68. Crunchy, sweet leaves, buttery-green heart, and vigorous growth are a few ways to describe Parris Island romaine. Developed by the USDA and Clemson University, this nutritional, 10" - 12" lettuce with upright, dark green leaves will soon be a favorite in your garden. Heat tolerant and mosaic virus tolerant.
This packet plants twelve 10 foot rows.
Days to Emerge: 5 - 10
Seed Depth: 1/8"
Seed Spacing: A group of 4 seeds every 8" - 10"
Row Spacing: 6"
Thinning: When 1/2" tall, thin to 1 every 8" - 10"
When to sow outside: 2 to 4 weeks before average last frost, and successive sowings thereafter every 3 weeks until 2 weeks before the first fall frost. USDA zone 8 or warmer: also sow in fall for winter harvest.
When to start inside: 2 to 4 weeks before average last frost, and in summer when soil temperatures are too warm outside to germinate lettuce seed.
Harvesting: Individual leaves can be harvested anytime as desired. The whole plant can be sheared to 2" above ground level when plant is up to 8" tall; more leaves will be produced.
