Description

Large variety of lamb's lettuce with elongated leaves that are rounded above. The whole plant is larger than other varieties, and therefore more productive. Even the seed is larger, about twice as wide. Grote Noordhollandse is an old variety from the Netherlands. The leaf is thin and extremely tender. The variety has such long leaves that it is also suitable for cut-and-come-again, leaves grow back in a short time.

Non hybrid

Not frost resistant

Growing tips

Sowing should be in August for harvesting from October to November. The plants are not completely frost-hardy, they do not survive our winters. Therefore, for the spring harvest you sow in early spring (March) and can harvest in May.
