Lettuce 'Tango'

This lettuce variety is known for its deeply lobed leaves and curly leaf margins, giving it a ‘3-dimensional’ appearance. Adds a strong amount of loft to salad mixes, and tastes absolutely delicious fresh from the garden. Excellent re-growth for a long harvest season.

Latin Name: Lactuca sativa

Days to Maturity: 32

Lettuce is a hardy, cool-weather crop and can be planted early Spring. It grows best at 60–65°F and germinates best below 70°F. Sow every 2–3 weeks for a continuous supply.

Sow 4–6 seeds/inch in rows at least 2" apart. Cover lightly to 1/8" and firm gently. Soil must be watered to ensure uniform germination.

Harvesting:

Head Lettuce: Cut at base, and cool immediately to prevent staining and dehydration.

Baby Leaf: Harvest about 1" above the growing point when leaves reach desired length, about 3–4" long.
