A stunning variety with crisp inner hearts and thick outer leaves. These are mildew and aphid resistant that will have a long harvest when grown successively. The leaves are perfect for adding to sandwiches while the crisp inner heart is perfect for adding to salads.
Direct sow lettuce seeds outdoors from March to August into well prepared, fertile, moist soil in sun or semi shade. Sow seeds thinly at a depth of 1cm (½”) in drills 30cm (12”) apart in soil which has been raked to a fine tilth. When large enough to handle, thin out seedlings to 30cm (12”) apart and cover with a protective netting or fleece to prevent attack from birds and insects.
Make regular sowings for a constant supply. Different growing conditions might vary results. Image may be included for illustration of supply but can vary due to seasonality changes (eg deciduous plants lose leaves in colder months).
