Regency 3.0 is a compact loose-leaf lettuce that delivers a quick harvest in just 55 days from direct seeding. This cultivar thrives in full sun with moderate watering and prefers a soil pH between 6.0 and 7.0. Its tight, space-efficient growth habit makes it excellent for gardeners working with limited space, while its relatively close spacing requirements (1 inch between plants, 16 inches between rows) allow for productive, dense plantings.

The compact growth habit of Regency 3.0 means you can fit more plants into tight quarters without sacrificing yield or quality. At just 55 days to harvest, this lettuce moves quickly from seed to table, making it reliable for succession planting every few weeks to ensure a continuous supply of fresh leaves throughout the season. The close spacing tolerance sets it apart from larger butterhead and romaine types, giving small-space gardeners a genuinely productive option.
As a loose-leaf lettuce, Regency 3.0 is harvested leaf-by-leaf for salads, wraps, and fresh preparations. Individual outer leaves can be picked repeatedly while the plant continues to produce from the center, or the entire plant can be cut about an inch above soil level for a complete harvest. This flexibility in harvesting makes it convenient for home cooks who want fresh greens available on demand rather than needing to harvest and use an entire head at once.
No timeline data available yet for this variety.
Start seeds indoors 4 to 6 weeks before your anticipated transplant date if you prefer transplanting over direct seeding.
Transplant seedlings outdoors once they have developed 2 to 3 true leaves. Space plants 10 to 14 inches apart in rows 16 inches apart.
Direct sow seeds and use row cover to improve germination and prevent soil crusting. Days to maturity are calculated from the date of direct seeding.
Begin harvesting individual outer leaves once the plant is established, allowing the inner leaves to continue growing for ongoing production. Harvest leaves daily or every few days for the best quality and tender texture. Alternatively, cut the entire plant about 1 inch above the soil level for a complete harvest; you may get additional smaller harvests by continuing to pick outer leaves from the regrowth. All leaves eventually become bitter as the plant begins to bolt, so check daily for leaves ready to harvest and don't delay once bolting starts.
