What Makes Survival Garden Seeds Different - non-GMO heirloom seeds

Add brilliant color and texture to your garden and plate with Lolla Rossa Lettuce Seeds (Lactuca sativa) from Survival Garden Seeds. This Italian heirloom variety produces loose, frilly rosettes of magenta-red and green leaves that bring visual appeal and fresh, mild flavor to salads, wraps, and sandwiches.

Colorful, Flavorful & Easy to Grow:
Lolla Rossa lettuce stands out for its vibrant curly leaves and soft texture. The mild, slightly sweet taste and stunning color make it a favorite among home gardeners and chefs alike. Hardy in cool weather, this variety grows quickly and can be harvested continuously for a long-lasting supply of tender greens.

Why Gardeners Love Lolla Rossa Lettuce:

  • Gorgeous magenta and green curly leaves with mild, pleasant flavor
  • Loose-leaf heirloom variety perfect for salads and garnishes
  • Hardy in cool weather and suitable for spring or fall planting
  • Great for cut-and-come-again harvesting—regrows after cutting
  • Compact size fits well in raised beds, containers, or garden rows
  • Non-GMO, open-pollinated seeds with excellent germination

How to Grow:
Sow seeds ¼ inch deep in moist, well-drained soil. Plant in early spring or late summer for fall harvests. Space plants 6–10 inches apart to allow heads to form loosely. Lolla Rossa prefers full sun to partial shade and steady moisture. In warmer climates, provide afternoon shade to extend the growing season and prevent bolting. Harvest in 45–55 days, or enjoy baby leaves earlier.

Harvest & Enjoy:
Cut individual outer leaves for a continuous harvest or take the full head when mature. The tender, colorful leaves make a stunning base for salads or a beautiful garnish for sandwiches and wraps. The curly texture holds dressing well while maintaining crispness.
