Growing Jericho Lettuce
‘Jericho’ is a heat-tolerant lettuce prized for its substantial heads, sweet crisp flavor, and dependable performance in warm climates. Originally bred for extreme heat, this slow-bolting variety combines excellent adaptability with strong disease resistance.
Sow ‘Jericho’ directly in the garden about ¼ inch deep. Space plants 4 to 6 inches apart in rows about 2 feet apart and grow in full sun. This variety also handles cold conditions, performs well in containers, and is noted for good disease resistance.
Ready to harvest in about 55 days, pick leaves at the size you prefer or allow plants to develop into full heads.
Sweet, crisp, and dependable, ‘Jericho’ is excellent for fresh eating, salads, sandwiches, and wraps.
