  • Species and varieties: Italian Asparagus Lettuce, also known as Celtuce or Stem Lettuce, is a unique variety of lettuce that is grown primarily for its thick, asparagus-like stem rather than its leaves. It belongs to the species Lactuca sativa var. asparagina.
  • Hybrid or heirloom: Italian Asparagus Lettuce is typically considered an heirloom variety, known for its traditional cultivation and unique characteristics that have been preserved over generations.
  • Pruning and training: Regularly remove any yellowing or damaged leaves to promote healthy growth. The plant does not require extensive pruning, but thinning out crowded seedlings can help improve air circulation and reduce disease risk.
  • Fertilization needs: Italian Asparagus Lettuce benefits from a balanced fertilizer applied at planting and periodically throughout the growing season. A fertilizer with equal parts nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium (e.g., 10-10-10) is recommended. Avoid over-fertilizing, as this can lead to excessive leaf growth at the expense of the stem.
  • Hardiness zones: Italian Asparagus Lettuce is suitable for USDA hardiness zones 4-9. It can tolerate a range of temperatures but prefers cooler climates.
  • Climate requirements: This seed thrives in cool to moderate climates. It prefers temperatures between 60-70°F (15-21°C) and can bolt (go to seed) quickly in hot weather. It requires full sun to partial shade and well-drained soil.
