Instructions:
You can grow these indoors by a bright window, or outside in full sun. Lollo Rosso is a great cold-hardy veggie that can be planted in early spring or early fall. Keep the soil relatively moist, and keep the plants in full sun- the more sun the more color.
When harvesting, pick the leaves when they're around 3"-6", starting with the outer leaves so that the smaller leaves can grow in and keep the lettuce producing more foliage.
