How to Grow Dark Green Cos Romaine Lettuce from Seed

Like most lettuce varieties, Dark Green Cos grows well in containers, raised beds, garden plots, or hydroponically. Sow seeds on the soil surface, as light is needed for the best germination results. The seeds may be dusted with soil to maintain good contact with the soil. Space seeds 2 inches apart and thin to 10-12 inches after seedlings have sprouted. Space rows 18 inches apart. Maintain a regular watering schedule. If planting in the summer months, cover with some light shade to prevent early bolting. As a cool-season plant, lettuce is best sown in the spring and fall months. The optimum growing temperature is 60-68F, with germination occurring below 70F.
