How do you grow wild lettuce?

To grow wild lettuce, select a sunny location with well-draining soil. Sow seeds in early spring, barely covering them with soil. Keep soil consistently moist until germination occurs, typically within 2-3 weeks. Space seedlings or plants about 12 inches apart. Wild lettuce is drought-tolerant once established but performs best with regular watering during prolonged dry periods. Apply a balanced fertilizer sparingly. Wild lettuce may require staking as it grows tall. Harvest leaves as needed, preferably before the plant flowers for milder flavor.
