Growing Amish Deer Tongue Lettuce
‘Amish Deer Tongue’ is a classic heirloom lettuce prized for its distinctive triangular leaves, reliable growth, and pleasantly sharp flavor. Grown for more than a century, this Pennsylvania Dutch favorite produces medium-green foliage that is especially well suited to tender baby-leaf harvests.
Start ‘Amish Deer Tongue’ indoors for transplanting or sow directly where conditions allow. Plant seeds about ¼ inch deep and space plants 8 to 10 inches apart. Grow in full sun to partial shade. This slow-bolting, heat-tolerant variety performs especially well in smaller gardens.
Ready to harvest in about 45 days, pick leaves young for tender baby greens or allow plants to mature for larger harvests.
Crisp, distinctive, and flavorful, ‘Amish Deer Tongue’ is excellent for fresh eating, salads, sandwiches, and mixed greens.
