How to Sow and Plant

Sow seeds on or lightly press into moist well-drained soil in spring or early fall.
Ensure spacing of about 12–18 inches (30–45 cm) between seeds/seedlings.
Place in an area with full sun to partial shade.
Keep soil moderately moist until germination.

How to Grow

Maintain even soil moisture but avoid waterlogging.
Provide full sun or light shade for best foliage and bloom.
Thin seedlings for airflow and healthy growth.
Once established, minimal care is needed; occasional watering in dry periods is sufficient.

Tips

Wild lettuce may self-seed — remove spent stalks if unwanted.

Attracts pollinators — great for wildlife gardens.

Sow in early season for best results.
