Product information

Lollo Rossa (Lactuca sativa) produces pale green, crinkled leaves edged in deep crimson, forming a loose heart that adds texture and colour to salads. Easy to grow from seed, it delivers excellent flavour and value compared with shop-bought heads. Sow March–July and harvest April–September; ideal for pots, window boxes, borders and raised beds. Pack contains approximately 300 seeds.

• Watering instructions – Keep soil moist to prevent bolting.
• Plant in March to July, Harvesting period April to September
• Instructions for planting – Indoor Sowing: Fill modular trays with quality seed compost and sow one seed per module. Keep compost moist using capillary matting or gentle watering. Place trays in a bright, warm spot, avoiding direct sun. Once Professional Grower Plugs show true leaves or fill the modules, they’re ready to harden off. Planting Out: Harden off Professional Grower Plugs over 7–14 days, then transplant into pots, beds, or borders. Allow 30cm between plants to give space for heads to form. Outdoor Sowing: Direct sow from March to July, 1cm deep in rows 30cm apart. Thin Professional Grower Plugs to 30cm, using the thinnings in salads.
• After planting care instructions – Lettuce is a fast-growing, easy crop that thrives in beds, borders, and containers. With many varieties to choose from, you can enjoy crisp, fresh leaves for months. Sow seeds little and often for a continuous harvest, keeping soil moist to prevent bolting. Pick leaves as needed or harvest whole heads for delicious homegrown salads.
