Lettuce - Romaine - Paris Island
The Lettuce Romaine Parris Island Cos, 'Lactuca sativa', is an old favorite romaine that is named for Parris Island off South Carolina. The crunchy leaves, creamy heart, and the vigorous growth are just a few words that describe Parris Island Romaine. Parris Island is 8 to 12 inches tall with upright, dark green leaves that are slightly crinkled. Lettuce is a cool season annual. Successive plantings can produce lettuce spring through fall. Plant in early spring, 3 to 4 weeks before the average last frost date, and successive plantings thereafter every 3 weeks until 5 weeks before fall frost. Lettuce likes light, fertile, moist, and well drained soils. They will grow in light shade. Lettuce grows well near cabbage, beets, carrots, chives, garlic, and onion. ... details
