High Mowing Organic Seeds Winter Density Lettuce

Winter Density is a unique hybrid-like variety that combines the tender, buttery texture of a butterhead with the upright, crunchy structure of a romaine. It forms dense, dark green heads that provide the best of both worlds in a single plant.

No, Winter Density is not recommended for container gardening. It performs best when planted directly in the ground where it can establish its root system in the soil.

This variety germinates best when soil temperatures are cool, typically in the spring or fall. If you are planting in the heat of summer, you may need to provide shade or use a cold frame to keep the soil temperature down to ensure successful sprouting.

You can begin harvesting baby greens in as little as 28 days. If you prefer full-sized, tightly folded heads, expect to wait about 55 days from planting.

Yes, Winter Density is known for its resilience. While it prefers cool germination, the mature plants handle both heat and light frost better than many other lettuce varieties, allowing for a longer harvest window throughout the season.

For optimal growth, aim for a soil pH between 6.2 and 6.8. Ensure your soil is well-draining and properly amended with the recommended nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium levels to support healthy head formation.
