45 days. Planting your garden a little late? Oak Leaf Blend is the ideal choice. Leaves remain tender and sweet without the bitterness that often develops in other lettuces when warmer weather arrives. The beautiful, oak leaf shaped leaves are wonderful for salads and sandwiches, or picked very young for mesclun.

This packet sows up to 92 ft.
