Care Instructions:

• Sowing Location: Sow seeds directly outdoors into finely raked, weed-free soil from spring through to mid-summer. For container growing, scatter the seeds thinly over a premium, free-draining multi-purpose compost.
• Watering Requirements: Keep the soil or compost consistently moist with regular, even watering. Consistent moisture is vital to ensure the leaves remain tender and crisp, preventing the plants from turning bitter or bolting early in warm weather.
• Harvesting Advice: Harvest using the 'cut-and-come-again' method by snipping individual outer leaves as needed, or cut the entire clump down to 2cm above the soil line to allow a fresh flush of growth to emerge for a future harvest.
