Well, we can’t go around calling ourselves Uprising Seeds and not sell a lettuce called “Revolution” now can we? Revolution is a seriously flashy, darker red version of the classic Lollo Rosa type. Super frilly and compact, it is most often cut as baby leaf in salad mixes, though it grows to a surprisingly dense (if not smallish) head. Compare to the more ubiquitous “Dark Red Lollo Rosa”, but with a darker richer wine red color. Essential baby lettuce to add loft to the mix.

Growing Info

SOWING:

Sow indoors 4 weeks before your last frost.

Transplant out 3-4 week old plants.

Direct seed after last frost.

Sow every 3 weeks for constant lettuce.

Note: Seeds will become dormant if exposed to high temperatures. Lettuce grows best in cooler weather.

PLANTING DEPTH:

1/8-1/4"

SPACING:

10" in rows 15" apart.

EMERGENCE:

2-10 days @ soil temp 68F and lower.

LIGHT:

Full sun to part shade

FERTILITY:

Medium. Prefers well-drained, and evenly moist soil and is sensitive to low pH.

ADDITIONAL NOTES:

Uneven watering can result in tip burn, the browning of the leaf margins, which is the result of an inability of the plant to move calcium to the growing edge fast enough to meet its growth needs. Consistent, evenly moist soil or calcium amendments can be beneficial if this seems to be a problem.

Hot weather can cause premature bolting. Generally, when the plants begin to stretch upwards (to flower), the leaves become bitter and the eating quality poor.
