Lettuce Rubily F1 is a premium variety of lettuce renowned for its vibrant color, crisp texture, and excellent taste. It belongs to the butterhead lettuce type, characterized by loose, tender leaves that form a compact, rosette-shaped head.

Features

• Distinctive deep red coloration throughout the leaves, adding visual appeal to salads and dishes.
• Crisp and tender leaves with a mild, sweet flavor, ideal for fresh consumption.
• Consistent head formation and leaf size, suitable for commercial production and home gardening.
• Suitable for both fresh market sales and culinary purposes in salads, sandwiches, and garnishes.
• Performs well in various climates, making it suitable for cultivation in different regions.
• Shows good resistance to bolting (premature flowering) and certain common diseases, enhancing crop reliability.

Application

• Sow seeds directly into well-drained, fertile soil or start transplants indoors for later transplanting.
• Maintain adequate spacing to allow for proper head development and airflow, typically 6-8 inches apart.
• Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged to promote steady growth.
• Apply balanced fertilizer according to soil test recommendations or general guidelines for lettuce.
• Harvest heads when fully formed but before they become too mature to maintain quality and taste.

Storage

• Immediately after harvest, cool lettuce heads to prolong freshness and maintain crispness.
• Store harvested heads in the refrigerator at temperatures just above freezing in high humidity conditions, ideally in perforated plastic bags or containers.
• Use promptly for best quality, as lettuce can lose crispness and flavor over time.
