HOW TO GROW
Sowing: Lettuce grows well in cool weather, so the first crop can be direct sown when the soil temperature reaches at least 35 degrees F, or as soon as the soil can be worked. If the soil temperature rises above 75 degrees F, the seeds become dormant. Direct sow super red romaine lettuce seeds in rich soil and full sun, spreading them as thinly as possible in rows 1-2' apart; when the seedlings begin to grow, thin them to a distance of 10-12". Succession crops can be grown for fresh lettuce all season in areas with cool summers or warm winters; this is accomplished by planting a new crop every 2 weeks. For companion planting benefits, grow lettuce with onions, cucumbers, or carrots.
Growing: Since lettuce has very shallow roots, it needs adequate moisture in order to stay tender and sweet; keep the soil evenly moist. Applying mulch helps conserve moisture and control weeds.
Harvesting: Lettuce retains its crisp sweetness best when harvested in the morning. For microgreens, cut the entire plant above the surface of the soil as soon as it reaches a height of 2-3". Most types of lettuce will produce a second or even third crop after being cut, if the weather stays temperate. Leaves of lettuce can be gathered all season until the main stem of the plant starts to grow, at which time the leaves will grow bitter. To harvest the entire plant when mature, cut it just above the surface of the soil; lettuce tastes best when fresh, but keeps in the refrigerator for about a week.
Seed Saving: As the days of summer begin to lengthen, the lettuce will bolt, or send up a stalk. To avoid selecting negative traits, gather seed from the plants that are slow to bolt. After the stalk flowers and produces pods, the pods will turn light brown and split open; in order to prevent seed loss, shake the head of the stalk into a bag every day. Alternatively, some seed savers remove the entire plant when most of the pods are ready for harvest, and hang it upside down to dry in a protected location. Shake super red romaine lettuce seeds from the pods or crush the pods in your hands. The seed will have white "feathers" on them that can be removed by rubbing the seed on a fine mesh screen. Store super red romaine lettuce seeds in a cool, dry place for 2-3 years.

Romaine
Prices and quality that made me dump other sources for romaine.
Excellent Germination Rate
This is a very nice lettuce variety that adds some great color to any salad. Flavor is excellent.
Very productive
Missouri is not an easy place to garden. Lettuce usually bolts before you can use much. But, this red romaine is so productive and withstands a lot of heat before it turns bitter or bolts. I don't bother with most other varieties anymore. This is my favorite lettuce for my area, and I suspect it might be very high in nutrients.
Excellent germination
I have to give this item and company the best rating. Everything I bought. Excellent germination, value and service. My coworkers are now ordering from Everwilde at my recommendation.

First time buyer... can't wait to plant
I haven't grown these yet but a You Tube Influencer speaks highly of this companies seeds. Her garden looks lovely. I can't wait to plant them soon. The packaging is very nice. I had one package out of many that the seal broke and they responded quickly and sent me a new package to put the seeds in. The seeds look nice and viable
Excellent
I use this to grow hydroponically, starting in rockwool. Getting nearly 99.9% germination. Tastes great when harvested.
