Lettuce Grand Rapids (Lactuca sativa) is a popular, fast-growing loose-leaf variety known for its light green, frilled leaves and crisp texture. This classic heirloom lettuce is perfect for home gardeners looking for a reliable, easy-to-grow variety that provides an abundant harvest of fresh, tender leaves throughout the growing season. Whether you're a beginner or experienced gardener, Grand Rapids Lettuce offers both beauty and taste, making it a fantastic addition to salads, sandwiches, or wraps.

 

Features:

  • Frilled Light Green Leaves: Grand Rapids Lettuce features vibrant, light green leaves with a frilled or curly texture that adds a decorative touch to any garden or meal. The crisp, tender leaves provide a refreshing texture and flavor, making them ideal for salads and fresh dishes.
  • Mild, Crisp Flavor: This variety is known for its mild and slightly sweet flavor. Its crisp texture adds a refreshing crunch to salads and other dishes, making it a favorite among gardeners and chefs alike.
  • Fast-Growing: Grand Rapids Lettuce matures quickly, typically in 50-55 days from sowing. Its rapid growth makes it perfect for gardeners looking for quick results and multiple harvests throughout the growing season.
  • Cold-Hardy: This lettuce variety is well-suited to cooler climates and can tolerate light frosts, making it ideal for early spring or fall planting. It thrives in cooler temperatures, extending the harvest season.
  • Loose-Leaf Variety: Grand Rapids is a loose-leaf lettuce, meaning it does not form a head but instead produces tender, loosely arranged leaves that can be harvested individually. This allows for continuous harvesting—simply pick the outer leaves as needed and allow the inner leaves to grow for future harvests.
  • Easy to Grow: This lettuce is a great choice for beginners, requiring minimal care and maintenance. It thrives in well-drained, fertile soil with plenty of sunlight, and it’s suitable for garden beds, containers, or raised beds.
