In the Kitchen

Harvest a mix of leaves at the baby stage for the most tender and colorful salads imaginable. The combination of textures — frilly Simpson, buttery Oakleaf, crisp Cos, dramatic Lollo Rossa — creates a restaurant-quality salad straight from the garden. Use as a bed for grain bowls, tuck into sandwiches and wraps, or arrange on a platter as a composed salad. Dress lightly to let the variety of flavors come through.

Growing Notes

Direct sow ¼ inch deep as soon as soil is workable in spring, or late summer for fall harvest. Sow thickly and thin to 4–6 inches for full heads, or leave dense for baby leaf cut-and-come-again harvest. Succession sow every 2–3 weeks for continuous supply. Full sun to partial shade — afternoon shade extends the season in warm weather. Keep soil consistently moist. Germination in 4–7 days at 40–75°F. Harvest baby leaves at 25–35 days; full heads at 45–60 days. Cut outer leaves individually or clip whole plants 1 inch above the crown for regrowth. Bolting increases with heat above 80°F and day length over 14 hours — time plantings for cool weather.
