An all-season performer with excellent heat tolerance, Lovelock produces pretty pink tipped heads that are substantial in size. Slightly ruffled and savoyed leaves will close to form a dense head with a blanched green center at full maturity. Very easy to grow and pleasing to harvest. High resistance to Downy Mildew and Lettuce Mosaic Virus.

| Exposure | Full sun to partial shade |
| Days to Sprout | 7-15 Days |
| Days to Mature | 50 days |
| Starting | Direct sow or start indoors and transplant. Sow seeds 5mm (¼”) deep, or on the surface of the soil where the soil can be kept evenly moist.. Space or thin heading lettuce to 30cm (12″) apart. Space or thin looseleaf varieties to 20-25cm (8-10″) apart. Space rows for all types 45-90cm (18-36″) apart. Babyleaf lettuce can be planted quite densely, as it is harvested at an immature size. Sowing babyleaf lettuce seeds closely together in narrow rows makes harvesting simpler. |
| Growing | Ideal pH: 6.0-6.5. Aim for a soil with ample drainage and lots of organic matter. Add compost and lime at least 3 weeks prior to planting. One cup of balanced organic fertilizer per 3m (10′) of row will give adequate nutrition. Seedlings should be hardened off by reducing water and putting the plants outdoors 2 or 3 days before transplanting. This will help to prevent transplant shock and premature bolting. Regular watering is essential to prevent leaves from developing a bitter taste. |
