Winter Greens Blend Gourmet is a vibrant lettuce cultivar that brings color and variety to cool-season gardens with a carefully composed mix of lettuces, chicory, arugula, and curly endive. Ready to harvest in just 30 days, this blend delivers the daily salad staple with visual appeal and textural contrast. Direct seed into a prepared bed, thin to 1-inch spacing with 16 inches between rows, and you'll have tender greens in a month under full sun and moderate water. The real advantage here is flexibility: you can harvest using the traditional cut-and-come-again method, snipping 2 inches above the ground to encourage regrowth, or pick individual leaves as needed.

This is a working gardener's blend, not a monoculture. The mix of lettuces, chicory, arugula, and curly endive means you get flavor variety, textural contrast, and visual interest all in one planting. The cut-and-come-again method keeps plants producing for weeks, though the greens will eventually turn bitter as they bolt, signaling when to replant. For gardeners who want succession planting to work harder, direct sow every 2 to 3 weeks into a 4 by 4 foot area to ensure fresh harvests through the season.
Winter Greens Blend Gourmet is designed for the daily salad bowl. The mixed varieties provide the backbone of home salad-making, with arugula adding peppery bite, chicory contributing slight bitterness and substance, and lettuces offering tender base notes. Use these greens fresh in mixed salads where their variety of textures and flavors shine, or as a bed for composed salads where you want multiple flavors and colors working together.

Direct seed Winter Greens Blend Gourmet into prepared garden beds or a 4 by 4 foot area every 2 to 3 weeks for successive harvests. The catalog recommends this staggered approach to ensure continuous supply rather than a single large harvest.
Harvest Winter Greens Blend Gourmet using the cut-and-come-again method by cutting about 2 inches above the ground, which preserves the growing point and encourages the plant to send up new growth for extended harvests. Alternatively, pick individual leaves as needed throughout the season. Ready for first harvest at 30 days, though continued picking will extend the productive window. Monitor for the onset of bolting, when greens begin to turn bitter, signaling that it is time to replant rather than try to extend that crop.
