Lactuca sativa mix (Salad Bowl Sprout)

This salad bowl lettuce mix is designed for growing lush, harvestable greens fast, whether you are starting seedlings for transplant, filling a container garden, or growing a quick cut-and-come-again patch directly in the ground. The mixed leaf varieties germinate quickly and produce a diverse flush of tender young greens perfect for baby lettuce salads and mesclun-style harvests.

Growing a salad bowl mix from sprout stage means you can begin harvesting in as little as three to four weeks as a microgreen or baby green, or let the plants develop into fuller rosettes for more substantial cuts. The varied types in the mix ensure different textures and flavors develop together.

This is a great option for gardeners who want flexibility. On the coast, start a new patch every three weeks in spring and again in late summer and you will have fresh greens available for the better part of the year.
