Description

Early maturing, very high yielding, fresh, green cut lettuce with good regenerative ability. Tender, slightly curly leaves with open head. Vigorous variety with short development time of 4 - 6 weeks.

Growing tips

From mid-April to August, sow outdoors 0.5 cm deep, thinly distributed in rows 30 cm apart. In cold frames or foil houses from March. Press seed down, cover thinly with soil and keep moist. Likes sunny to semi-shady locations and all good, humus garden soils. Leave heart leaves when cutting, then can be harvested continuously. Temperatures above 18 °C may inhibit germination. For preparation, always harvest and consume fresh (not good storage properties). You can also gradually thin out to 25 cm in the row if you want the heads to be greener.
