They are tasty, sweet, and they have nice texture. Lettuce likes light, fertile, moist, and well drained soils. Blonde is a very attractive ornamental with fringed, blonde leaves. Plant in early spring, 3 to 4 weeks before the average last frost date, and successive plantings thereafter every 3 weeks until 5 weeks before fall frost. They will grow in light shade. The Europeans consider Batavia lettuces to be one of the best tasting lettuces. Successive plantings can produce lettuce spring through fall.
