Crisp, Heat-Tolerant Greens for Fresh Salads
Lettuce Green Salad Bowl is an award-winning oakleaf variety celebrated for its vibrant color, tender texture, and reliable performance in home gardens. As an All-America Selections (AAS) Winner, this lettuce matures quickly-ready for baby leaf harvest in just 30 days and full-sized leaves in 50 days. Its bright green, deeply lobed leaves add visual appeal and exceptional flavor to salads, making it a staple for gardeners and chefs alike.
Perfect for continuous harvests, Green Salad Bowl lettuce is prized for its consistent production and sweet, mild taste. Its unique oakleaf shape is ideal for baby leaf mixes, while mature heads provide abundant, non-bitter greens. Notably, this variety is slow to bolt and highly heat-tolerant, allowing for extended harvests even during warmer months-a rare trait among lettuces.
Green Salad Bowl forms attractive, loose rosettes reaching 8-12 inches in height, with a recommended spacing of 10-16 inches between plants. Sow seeds directly in the garden or containers, and enjoy multiple cuttings throughout the season. Its vigorous growth and resistance to bolting ensure a steady supply of fresh greens for salads, sandwiches, and garnishes.
Growing Success Tips:
- Sow seeds in well-drained, fertile soil for best results
- Provide consistent moisture, especially during hot spells
- Harvest outer leaves regularly to encourage new growth
- Mulch around plants to retain soil moisture and regulate temperature
Green Salad Bowl lettuce offers outstanding value for gardeners seeking a reliable, flavorful, and heat-tolerant salad green. Its quick growth, beautiful leaf shape, and resistance to bolting make it a top choice for both beginner and experienced growers.
