Description

Grand Rapids is a late-shooting, high-yielding lettuce with curled, crisp, tender leaves. Ideal for home gardens and balcony boxes. Particularly delicate taste. This lettuce stays fresh for a long time after harvesting.

Non hybrid

Not frost resistant

Growing tips

Picking lettuce needs humus and nutrient-rich soil in a sunny position to develop well. Sufficient moisture should also be ensured. Water rarely, but thoroughly. During the harvest period from May to October, only pick the lower leaves if possible. The heart remains standing and always provides new harvests.
