This tasty lettuce has bright green-red leaves that fade to deep red tips. This romaine type lettuce has good disease and bolt resistance. Cimarron is a favorite among gardeners for its beautiful hue and crispy texture in salad mixes!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGrowing Instructions (USDA Zones 3-9):\u003cbr\u003e Lettuce is hardy and can be planted as early as the soil can be worked. It is a cool weather crop and grows best at temperatures of 60-65°F. Careful variety selection is important for hot weather plantings. Sow every 3 weeks for a continuous supply of fresh lettuce. Lettuce seed can enter thermal dormancy when exposed to high temperatures. Do not use a heat mat when germinating lettuce seed. Optimum germination results at soil temperatures of 60–65°F.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor direct seeding, seeds germinate at low soil temperatures (40°F), but poorly above 75°F. Sow seeds 2-3″ apart, rows 12–18″ apart. Cover seed lightly, about 1\/8″, and firm soil gently. Thin to one plant every 10–12″. Dry soil must be watered to ensure coolness and moisture, and for uniform germination.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor transplanting, sow 2-3 seeds per cell, 1\/4″ deep, 3-4 weeks before transplanting outdoors. Do not let soil above 70F while germinating so keep out of the sun and a cool, dark location. Harden seedlings by reducing water and temperature for 2–3 days before planting outdoors. Properly hardened transplants can survive temperatures as low as 20°F. Transplant to 10–12″ apart, in rows 18″ apart.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWatering: Water lettuce once to twice per week or every 4 days whenever rainfall is inadequate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Southern Seeds","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45062791168023,"sku":"sku-34598377095305","price":1.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0788\/8646\/9655\/files\/lettuce-cimmaron-romaine-lactuca-sativa-200-seedssouthern-seeds-288286.jpg?v=1776699497","url":"https:\/\/bukasworld.com\/products\/cimmaron-romaine-lettuce-200-seeds","provider":"BUKAS WORLD","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
