Sunagri is a high-yielding red CrunchLeaf lettuce that brings both visual appeal and reliable productivity to cool-season gardens. This open-pollinated variety matures in 60 days from transplants and grows into a compact plant, making it efficient for small spaces or succession planting. Its crisp, crunchy texture and attractive red coloring make it as much a pleasure to harvest as it is to eat. Sunagri thrives in the cool weather lettuce loves, germinating best between 60 and 70°F, and it tolerates frost well enough to extend your growing season into spring and fall.

Red CrunchLeaf varieties are prized for their textural contrast and visual drama in the garden, and Sunagri lives up to that reputation with reliable yields across successive sowings. The compact growth habit means you can space plants just 6 inches apart in rows 12 inches apart, fitting surprising productivity into modest garden beds or containers. Its frost tolerance opens doors for early and late-season harvests when other lettuces have bolted or succumbed to cold, and the quick 60-day maturity from transplants keeps the kitchen constantly supplied with fresh leaves.
Sunagri is grown primarily for fresh salads, where its crisp texture and red color provide both flavor and visual interest to mixed greens or composed salads. The compact plant size and high yield make it particularly valuable for continuous harvesting, allowing gardeners to snip outer leaves for salad mixes or cut entire heads for full-size servings.

Start Sunagri indoors 4 to 6 weeks before your last spring frost, sowing seeds at temperatures between 60 and 70°F. Maintain consistent moisture and provide adequate light to prevent leggy seedlings. Expect approximately 16,000 plants per ounce of seed, allowing you to gauge quantities for your garden scale.
Transplant hardened-off seedlings into the garden as soon as soil can be worked in spring, taking advantage of Sunagri's frost tolerance. Space transplants 6 inches apart in rows 12 inches apart, setting them at the same depth they grew indoors. For fall harvests, transplant in late summer, timing plantings so plants mature as temperatures cool.
Harvest Sunagri at 60 days from transplant when heads reach full size and feel firm to the touch. Cut entire heads at soil level with a sharp knife in the early morning when leaves are most crisp and turgid, or pinch outer leaves for continuous harvesting without removing the whole plant. The compact growth habit means mature plants are easy to handle and quick to process.
