Growing Information
Growing Tango Leaf Lettuce
‘Tango’ is a green leaf lettuce prized for its deeply frilled foliage, crisp texture, and mild tangy flavor. Upright rosettes remain tender and resist bitterness well in warmer conditions, while excellent regrowth makes this variety useful for both baby-leaf production and full-size harvests.
Start ‘Tango’ indoors for transplanting or sow directly where conditions allow. Plant seeds about ⅛ to ¼ inch deep and space plants 8 to 10 inches apart. Grow in full sun to partial shade. This heat-tolerant variety performs across a wide range of climates.
Ready to harvest in about 55 days, pick young leaves for baby greens or allow plants to mature for larger harvests. Good regrowth can provide multiple cuttings from one planting.
Crisp, tangy, and versatile, ‘Tango’ is excellent for salads, baby-leaf mixes, sandwiches, wraps, and fresh eating.
