Merlot Lettuce Live Plants – Deep Red, Heat-Tolerant, Gourmet Salad Green

Gorgeous Color, Great Flavor — Right From Your Garden

Merlot lettuce is a standout in any kitchen garden. Its deep burgundy-red leaves bring rich color and delicate texture to salads, and its better-than-average heat tolerance means it keeps producing longer into the season than most lettuces. A true gourmet variety with heirloom roots.

Growing Conditions

• Light: Full sun to part shade
• Mature height: ~6 inches
• Spread: ~12 inches
• Type: Annual
• Best for: Fresh salads, container gardens, raised beds
• Heat tolerant — slower to bolt than standard varieties
