There is a bewildering diversity of lettuce types, with more appearing all the time. Butterheads are soft loose-hearted varieties, crispheads or icebergs are large dense and crunchy, cos types have upright crisp leaves, and loose-leaf do not make hearts but are gathered as dense leafy heads or individual leaves are picked over a long period.
Lactuca sativa 'Blush' bears dark green outer leaves edged with red, and solid crisp hearts. Plants are as small as 'Little Gem' and may be grown at close spacings in small gardens.
Grow Lactuca sativa 'Blush' in moist but well-drained soil in full sun to partial shade.
