Chinese Stem Lettuce, also known as Celtuce or Asparagus Lettuce, is a unique Asian heirloom vegetable prized for its tall, thick, crisp stems and tender green leaves. The mild, nutty stems are enjoyed peeled and sliced for stir-fries, soups, or pickling, while the young leaves are excellent for fresh salads. This cool-season crop is easy to grow and matures quickly, making it a versatile addition to both traditional and modern kitchens. Seeds are heirloom, Non-GMO, and open-pollinated, perfect for gardeners who enjoy specialty vegetables with authentic flavor.
How to Plant
When: Direct sow outdoors in early spring or late summer for fall harvest. Can also start indoors 4–6 weeks before last frost.
