Growing Information
Growing Parris Island Heirloom Lettuce
‘Parris Island’ is an heirloom lettuce prized for its large attractive heads, crisp texture, and sweet flavor. Deep green outer leaves naturally protect the tender pale hearts, creating a classic romaine-style harvest with excellent eating quality.
Start ‘Parris Island’ indoors for transplanting or sow directly where conditions allow. Plant seeds about ⅛ inch deep and space plants 4 to 16 inches apart. Grow in full sun to partial shade. This cold-tolerant variety is also well suited to containers.
Ready to harvest in about 70 days, pick individual leaves earlier or cut mature heads once they reach the desired size.
Sweet, crisp, and dependable, ‘Parris Island’ is excellent for salads, sandwiches, wraps, and fresh eating.
