Mild Mesclun Mix Lettuce Seeds
The Mild Mesclun Mix is a delicious blend of salad greens selected for color, texture, and gentle, crowd-pleasing flavor—the perfect introduction to cut-and-come-again gardening. Featuring a diverse mix of lettuces and mild greens that harvest beautifully at the baby leaf stage, this blend brings weeks of fresh salads from even a very small planting. One of the most productive and satisfying things a beginning or seasoned gardener can grow.
