How to Germinate Lettuce Bronze Mignonette

How to Germinate Lettuce Bronze Mignonette (Lactuca sativa)

  • Sow Bronze Mignonette lettuce seeds directly outdoors in early spring or late summer for a fall harvest.
  • Sprinkle seeds on the soil surface and press them down lightly; do not cover deeply, as they need light for germination.
  • Maintain a soil temperature of 40-75°F (4-24°C) for optimal germination, which typically takes 7-14 days.
  • Keep the soil consistently moist during the germination period, but avoid overwatering to prevent rot.
  • Thin seedlings to 6-12 inches apart once they are a few inches tall to promote air circulation and healthy growth.
  • If starting seeds indoors, sow them 4-6 weeks before the last expected frost and transplant them outdoors when the soil is workable.

Additional Tips

  • Bronze Mignonette prefers full sun but can benefit from partial shade, especially in warmer climates, to prevent bolting.
  • Water regularly to keep the soil evenly moist, as this promotes tender and flavorful leaves.
  • Apply mulch around the plants to retain soil moisture and suppress weeds.
  • Fertilize with a balanced, organic fertilizer to encourage continuous growth and healthy foliage.
  • Harvest the outer leaves as needed when they are young and tender, using the cut-and-come-again method for an extended harvest.
