Lettuce Seeds - Kagraner Sommer

(Lactuca sativa) 60 days to maturity.

Kagraner Sommer Lettuce is a German heirloom that’s excellent for mid-season planting, as it’s slow to bolt in the Summer heat. A lovely medium sized butterhead variety, growing 10-12 inches wide. Leaves are light green and quite crispy, growing in a loose forming butterhead shape. Kagraner Sommer lettuce is quickly becoming a Summer favorite! 

GROWING INSTRUCTIONS

TIMING: Direct sow outdoors in mid-Spring OR start seeds indoors 4 weeks before transplanting. Succession plant for a continuous harvest, prefers the cool weather of Spring and Fall. 

GERMINATION: 7-14 days. Prefers temperatures between 13-18°C, especially at night. Germination will be hindered if soil temperatures are above 22°C. 

SEEDING: Sow seeds 1/8” deep. Space plants 8-10” apart. Space rows 12-18” apart. 

GROWING: Lettuce prefers cooler weather. Plants will bolt and leaves will be bitter in hot and dry conditions. Water consistently to prevent bitter leaves. Compost rich, well-draining soil is best. 

COMPANIONS: Calendula attracts slugs, plant far from lettuce to lure slugs away—a common pest for lettuce.
