Fothergill's Lettuce Headed Mixed Seeds

Details:

• Botanical Name: Lactuca sativa, a versatile mix of premier-headed lettuce varieties.
• Plant Class: Annual Salad Vegetable, establishing rapidly to produce a heavy, staggered harvest across the warmer months.
• Visual & Textural Variety: Features a beautiful collection of headed lettuces, ranging from tightly packed, crisp icebergs to soft-hearted butterheads and deeply crinkled cos types.
• Colour Palette: Combines vibrant, fresh greens with deep, dramatic ruby-reds, adding instant restaurant-quality visual appeal to your home garden and dinner plate.
• Extended Harvest: Specially curated for successive sowings, allowing you to easily maintain a continuous, rolling supply of fresh salad heads throughout the entire summer season.
• Space Efficient: Highly adaptable and compact, making this mix equally well-suited for traditional vegetable patches, raised allotment beds, or tidy patio containers and window boxes.

Care & Growing Instructions:

• Sowing Position: Sow thinly directly into finely prepared, fertile, and moisture-retentive soil. Position in a bright area; while they love the sun, a spot with light afternoon shade helps prevent the soil from drying out too quickly during hot spells.
• Succession & Thinning: For a non-stop summer supply, sow a small batch of seeds every two to three weeks. Thin out the young seedlings early to ensure the remaining plants have plenty of space to swell into full, dense, well-formed heads. Keep well-watered to maintain sweet, crisp leaves.
