Mr Fothergills Lettuce Romaine Ballon 1000 Seed

Lettuce – Romaine Ballon

This cos variety is renowned for its large solid heads with a crisp crunchy texture and excellent flavour. Grows well in adverse weather conditions.

Sow outdoors thinly from March to July where they are to crop, 1.5cm deep, directly into finely-prepared, fertile, moisture-retentive soil, which has already been watered. Allow 30cm between rows. Early sowings may benefit from cloche protection. Seedlings usually appear in 7-14 days. Thin out to 20cm apart. Water well until plants are established. Regular sowings, made every two to three weeks, will ensure a continuous supply. Harvest from May to October.
