Description

A tantalising mixture of bronze and red shades to add colour, texture and taste to your salad bowl and side garnishes. Enjoy as salad leaf and full heart crops all summer without worry, as this mix is particularly resistant to bolting. Endless supply of loose-leaf lettuce in red shades.

Sowing Instructions

Sow March to August. Sow thinly, 1cm (½ inch) deep in drills 30cm (12 inch) apart in soil which has been raked to a fine tilth. Easy to grow.

Aftercare

Water ground regularly, especially during dry periods. Harvest as and when required.

Nutritional Information
