Season Overview

Description

Red-brown colored head lettuce with good head formation and good shoot resistance. Suitable for spring cultivation. Particularly aromatic. Specialty for the hobby. Tip: Cover the sowings only weakly (light germinators). In very warm weather, keep the sowing tray cool for about 10 hours immediately after sowing, as too high temperatures can inhibit germination.

Growing tips

In case of drought, water abundantly, especially in the young plant stage! Lettuce grows well in all garden soils. Sow flat and thin every 2-3 weeks, then you can harvest lettuce all year round. When the plantlets are about 5 inches tall, do not transplant too deep. Lettuce does especially well with plenty of light and moderate temperatures. Frequent watering is crucial to tenderize the leaves and make them grow faster. Water less and more carefully once the lettuce becomes firmer and the heads begin to close.
