Growing Red Sails Lettuce
‘Red Sails’ is an award-winning open-pollinated lettuce and 1985 All-America Selections Winner prized for its early maturity and beautiful bronze-red foliage. Slightly ruffled leaves bring vivid color and tender texture to fresh garden harvests.
Start ‘Red Sails’ indoors for transplanting. Plant seeds about ⅛ inch deep and space plants 12 to 18 inches apart. Grow in full sun to partial shade. This cold-tolerant variety is also well suited to containers.

Colorful, tender, and early, ‘Red Sails’ is excellent for fresh eating, salads, sandwiches, wraps, and mixed greens.
