Lettuce Seeds

Lettuce offers a delicious and colourful blend of tender, young leaves, perfect for creating fresh salads right from your garden. This variety produces a variety of textures and flavours, from mild and buttery to crisp and slightly peppery. Easy to grow and harvest, Lettuce is ideal for continuous cutting, allowing you to enjoy fresh greens throughout the growing season. Whether grown in garden beds, containers, or even on a windowsill, it’s the perfect choice for gardeners who want a constant supply of healthy, homegrown leaves.

Best Planting Time for Lettuce Seeds in the UK:

• Indoors: Start seeds indoors from February to April for an early harvest.
• Outdoors: Sow directly outdoors from April to August for continuous cutting throughout the summer.

Ideal Growing Conditions:

• Sunlight: Prefers full sun but can tolerate light shade, especially in hotter weather.
• Soil: Well-drained, moist, fertile soil with a pH of 6.0 to 7.0.
• Spacing: Sow seeds thinly, leaving about 15 cm between plants for cut-and-come-again harvesting.

Harvesting Tips:

• For a continuous supply, sow every 2-3 weeks throughout the growing season.
