Mr Fothergills Lettuce Red Salad Bowl 1250 Seeds

Lettuce – Red Salad Bowl

These lettuces have attractive red-tinged ‘oak leaf’ shaped leaves. Pick individual leaves as needed or whole ‘non-hearting’ heads.

Sow outdoors thinly, from March to August where they are to crop, 1.5cm deep, directly into finely-prepared, fertile, moisture-retentive soil, which has already been watered. Allow 25cm between rows. Early sowings may benefit from cloche protection. Seedlings usually appear in 7-14 days. Thin out to 20cm apart, transplanting thinnings if required. Water well until plants are established. Regular sowings, made every two to three weeks, will ensure a continuous supply. Harvest from April to October.
