To grow Tennis Ball lettuce successfully, plant it in full sun to partial shade, in well-draining soil that is kept consistently moist but not waterlogged. Ensure 4-8 hours of sun daily. Enriching the soil with compost or well-rotted manure before planting will provide the necessary nutrients for vigorous growth.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Baker Creek Heirloom Seed Co.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59511157653790,"sku":"LT164","price":3.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0999\/2280\/5022\/files\/lettuce_tennis_ball.jpg?v=1782397346","url":"https:\/\/www.rareseeds.com\/products\/lettuce-tennis-ball","provider":"RareSeeds","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
