Real Hardy variety, interesting for its fast growth.
The deep red and purple, oakleaf type leaves are especially tender and appreciated.
Makes excellent salads in warm season.
Type of soil: Any soil
Sowing time: From January to December. It is important to spread the sowing, so the lettuces are not all ready at the same time.
Harvest time: From March to November.
Site: Full sun.
Sow directly into the ground:
- Lettuce seeds are not sensitive to the cold.
- Sow in rows, cover with a thin layer of compost and water using a fine spray.
- After the plants come through they should be thinned to about one plant every 20cm.
Care:
- Water them abundantly if there is a lack of rain.
- Put straw around them.
- Harvest the lettuce as required once they are properly formed.
