New Red Fire Lettuce
Growing New Red Fire Lettuce
‘New Red Fire’ is an open-pollinated looseleaf lettuce prized for its vivid red color, crisp texture, and sweet flavor. Excellent resistance to bolting helps the attractive foliage maintain its quality throughout an extended harvest season.
Plant ‘New Red Fire’ seeds about ⅛ inch deep and space plants 6 to 12 inches apart. Germination typically takes 2 to 10 days. This cold-tolerant variety is also well suited to containers.
Ready to harvest in about 43 days, pick individual leaves at the size you prefer, taking younger growth for the most tender texture.
Crisp, sweet, and colorful, ‘New Red Fire’ is excellent for fresh eating, salads, sandwiches, wraps, and mixed greens.
