Ezflor Lettuce is a fast-growing loose-leaf variety that reaches harvest in just 35 to 40 days, making it one of the quickest lettuces from seed to table. This member of the Asteraceae family thrives in full sun with moderate water and slightly acidic to neutral soil, producing tender leaves ideal for continuous picking. Its compact spacing requirements (1 inch between plants, 16 inches between rows) allow gardeners to tuck it into tight garden corners or succession-plant every 2 to 3 weeks for an unbroken supply of fresh greens through the season.

Ezflor delivers remarkable speed to harvest without sacrificing leaf quality, ready in five to six weeks from direct seeding. The loose-leaf habit means you can begin harvesting individual outer leaves while inner growth continues, extending productivity from a single planting. Its modest spacing needs and preference for moderate, consistent moisture make it reliable even for gardeners managing limited water or working in containers.
Ezflor works beautifully in fresh salads, where its tender leaves shine when harvested young and crisp. The ability to pick leaves individually rather than harvesting the entire head makes it particularly useful for home cooks who want a continuous supply of fresh lettuce for everyday meals without waste.
No timeline data available yet for this variety.
Start Ezflor indoors 4 to 6 weeks before your anticipated transplant date, sowing into moist seed-starting mix at the proper depth.
Harden off seedlings by gradually exposing them to outdoor conditions over 7 to 10 days before transplanting. Move transplants to the garden at the spacing recommended for your lettuce type; loose-leaf varieties like Ezflor benefit from thinning to 10 to 14 inches apart once they develop 2 to 3 true leaves.
Direct sow Ezflor seeds into prepared garden beds or containers. Use row covers immediately after sowing to improve germination and prevent soil crusting, which can hinder seedling emergence. Keep soil consistently moist until seedlings emerge and develop their first true leaves.
Begin harvesting Ezflor around day 35 to 40 from direct seeding. Pick individual outer leaves, allowing the inner leaves to continue growing and producing for additional harvests. You can also cut the entire plant about 1 inch above the soil line for a single large harvest, or remove individual outer leaves repeatedly throughout the season. Check plants daily once they reach maturity, as all lettuce eventually becomes bitter as plants bolt; harvest frequently to catch leaves at peak tenderness before this decline begins.
