Cimarron is a very popular red cos type lettuce with a small compact size making it suitable for families, or couples and for growing on patios and in pots . It is a deep red in colour with soft leaves and uniform in shape and size.
It is a good seller at Farmers Markets.
It has a lovely rich taste and good looks, ideal for salads.

Lettuces do not like hot weather and prefer the shade. They should be sown often to ensure continuous supply.
Sow the seeds very shallowly and rake in lightly. Keep the soil moist for the continued life of the plant and you will be rewarded with lovely salad greens.
Any dryness will result in bitter leaves and bolting will result.
Sow in all months in mild areas and cease sowing during mid winter in cold areas and during hot conditions or whenever they can be expected to arise.
Lettuces grow well under trees where they receive dappled shade.
