Description

Very fast-growing and mildew-tolerant variety suitable for growing outdoors as well as under glass and film. Even faster growing than the Vit variety. Compact, smooth-leaved plants with high individual plant weight. Robust against downy mildew. Tends to spoon when sown early, so not suitable for first sets in summer.

Non hybrid

Not frost resistant

Growing tips

If lamb's lettuce is sown in hot and dry August, there may be considerable problems with emergence. Here, shading with a fleece and watering the soil before sowing will help. Lamb's lettuce needs little nitrogen and should in no case be grown after legumes.
