Red leaved form of picking type lettuce. Very productive over a long period and attractive in the garden. Picking Variety.
Tom says: Quick and easy lettuces are many peoples first veggie crop. Try mixing red and green lettuce leaves to add a note of bitterness to salads, or try slicing up little gem lettuces and sauteing with peas and garlic for an alternative homegrown lunch.
Growing Information
Sow little and often to ensure a continuous supply. Grow in a rich soil and water well in dry periods. Sow outdoors at fortnightly intervals from March to July, and in September sow varieties which stand through winter to head the following spring. (10-14 weeks maturity.)
Sowing Information
For container growing - sow thinly, direct into compost. For raised beds try sowing in 30cm (12") squares, spacing a few seeds every 15cms (6") 13mm ( 1?2") deep. Germination 6-12 days. As the seedlings emerge, remove spare seedlings to leave one per 'station'; (thus you will have finally 4 plants per square). Alternatively sow in rows 30cm (12") apart.
