Tango Lettuce, Heirloom Seeds

Tango Lettuce, Heirloom Seeds — The Curled Oak Leaf Lettuce With Tangy Flavor and Three-Dimensional Texture

Tango is the lettuce that makes salads interesting. A curled oak leaf variety with deeply cut, crinkled, dark green leaves that look like endive and add a lofty, three-dimensional texture to any salad mix. The tangy flavor is distinctive and satisfying, holding up beautifully to numerous dressings. Attractive, uniform plants form tight upright rosettes 12 inches across and 6–8 inches tall with strong regrowth after cutting — a reliable cut-and-come-again performer. Crisp, clean texture that holds up well in the bowl. An excellent choice for home gardens and market growers alike.

Growing Notes

Direct sow outdoors 4–6 weeks before last frost in spring, or 6–8 weeks before first frost in fall. Scatter seeds on the soil surface and press in lightly — lettuce needs light to germinate. Thin to 6–8 inches apart. Full sun to part shade. Keep soil consistently moist. Harvest outer leaves as needed or cut whole plant at soil level for strong regrowth.
