Salad Bowl Red Lettuce Seeds by West Coast Seeds (Lactuca sativa)

Salad Bowl Red Lettuce (Lactuca sativa) is a loose-leaf lettuce variety prized for its attractive deep red foliage and tender texture. The plant forms open rosettes of deeply lobed leaves with softly ruffled edges, creating both visual interest and excellent salad greens. Its mild flavor and delicate leaf structure make it a popular choice for fresh garden harvests.

In vegetable gardens, Salad Bowl Red lettuce produces abundant leaves that can be harvested continuously throughout the growing season. Unlike head-forming lettuce varieties, this loose-leaf type allows gardeners to pick individual leaves while the plant continues producing new growth. It performs well in garden beds, raised planters, and containers with fertile soil and good air circulation.

Salad Bowl Red is widely grown for its reliable growth, vibrant colour, and consistent leaf production. This listing is for seed packets only and does not include live plants.

Sun Requirements ▾

Salad Bowl Red lettuce grows best in full sun to partial sun. Strong sunlight supports healthy leaf color and compact growth, while light afternoon shade may help reduce heat stress during warmer conditions. Insufficient light can slow leaf production and reduce coloration intensity.

Watering Instructions ▾

Maintain evenly moist soil to support continuous leaf production and prevent bitterness. Water when the upper soil layer begins to dry while avoiding waterlogged conditions. During warmer weather, more frequent watering may be necessary to maintain plant health.

Care Tips ▾

Salad Bowl Red lettuce grows best in fertile, well-draining soil enriched with organic matter. Cool, stable temperatures encourage tender leaf production and consistent plant growth. Moderate humidity and loose soil structure support healthy root systems and sustained leafy development. Sow Salad Bowl Red lettuce seeds directly outdoors in early spring once soil temperatures reach approximately 10–18°C. Seeds typically germinate within 5–10 days. Leaves can be harvested once they reach usable size, often within 30–45 days, with regular harvesting encouraging continued growth.
