Description

About Leaf Lettuce ‘Grand Rapids’ (Lactuca sativa)

‘Grand Rapids’ is a fast-maturing, early leaf lettuce variety ideal for continuous harvests from spring to autumn. Its bright green, frilly leaves are tender and crisp, making it perfect for fresh salads and wraps. Known for its slow-bolting habit, this variety stays usable for a longer period than most lettuces.

It’s a reliable choice for open ground, greenhouses, containers, or indoor smart gardens—especially suited for cut-and-come-again harvesting.

Why It’s Great for Indoor & Outdoor Growing

‘Grand Rapids’ thrives in full sun and performs well in both garden beds and compact grow systems. You can sow directly into prepared soil or hydroponic setups for clean, fast harvests in 35–50 days. With repeat sowing, enjoy a steady supply of fresh lettuce throughout the season—even into early autumn.

This variety grows best in light loamy or sandy loam soil that is well-cultivated and weed-free, but also adapts well to container and indoor gardening with good drainage and airflow.
