Seed Savers Cracoviensis Celtuce
Also known as stem or asparagus lettuce, celtuce is a lettuce cultivar that produces edible, thick, crisp, and nutty-flavored stems and highly-toothed, dark-red and green leaves with a slightly bitter, yet surprisingly refreshing, flavor when eaten young. Very popular in Asia, celtuce stems are harvested when they reach a foot long and then typically sautéed. Heirloom, Non-GMO, Open-Pollinated, Organic.
Growing Instructions: Sow outdoors as soon as the soil can be worked in spring. Celtuce is best grown in cooler weather and in full sun. Thin to 12"-18" apart in rows. It can be started indoors 4-6 weeks before the last frost. Transplant outdoors after a few sets of leaves have emerged. Keep the soil moist.
- Direct Seed ¼" deep.
- Thin to 12-18" apart.
- Best grown in cooler weather.
