Oakleaf Lettuce – The Sophisticated Garden Essential for Gourmet Textures and Superior Summer Resilience
Shop the highest quality Oakleaf Lettuce seeds for a salad garden that stands out. If you want a lettuce that looks as good as it tastes, Oakleaf is the "Big Kahuna." Named for its stunning, deeply lobed leaves that resemble the foliage of a mighty oak tree, this heirloom has been a garden staple since the 1770s. At The Seed Guy, we recommend Oakleaf for its exceptional tenderness; unlike thicker lettuces, the leaves of this variety are delicate and buttery, providing a gourmet "melt-in-your-mouth" experience that you simply cannot find in a grocery store.
In the garden, Oakleaf is a true workhorse. It is legendary for its ability to resist bolting, meaning it stays sweet and delicious even as the temperatures begin to climb. It is a fantastic companion plant for onions and cucumbers, and its compact growth makes it perfect for "square foot" gardening or decorative containers. Because it is a "cut-and-come-again" variety, you can harvest individual leaves for weeks, and the plant will continue to push out new, vibrant growth. At The Seed Guy, our seeds are tested for elite germination and leaf uniformity, ensuring your garden is as beautiful as it is bountiful.

Oakleaf Lettuce Planting Instructions:
1. When to Plant: Sow in early spring as soon as the soil can be worked. For a continuous supply, sow every 2 weeks. Sow again in late summer for a fall harvest.
2. Preparation: Work in a light layer of compost to provide nitrogen. Lettuce seeds need light to germinate, so do not bury them deeply.
3. Sowing: Scatter seeds thinly and press gently into the soil, barely covering with a dusting of earth. Keep soil consistently moist with a fine mist.
4. Care: Water frequently to keep the shallow roots cool. Thin to 6-10 inches apart for full rosettes, or harvest closer together for "baby greens."
5. Pests and Diseases: Oakleaf’s deeply lobed leaves can sometimes provide hiding spots for aphids. Check the undersides of the leaves regularly and use a sharp stream of water to dislodge any pests. To prevent downy mildew, try to water at the base of the plant in the morning so the leaves have time to dry before evening.
