Lettuce Mixed Salad Leaves Seeds

Lettuce Mixed Salad Leaves
Botanical Name: Lactuca sativa

This delicious blend of different lettuce leaves form the basis of the traditional 'green salad' found along the Mediterranean. Herbs and edible flowers are frequently added. Individual leaves are picked when very young before any hearts develop, and the plants simply produce more in their place.

How To Grow
Sow a few seeds in each clump, 6mm (quarter-inch) deep. Cover with fine layer of seed raising mix or soil, water gently. Space rows 10cm (4in) apart. Feed with liquid fertiliser every 10-14 days. Water often as lettuce have shallow roots. Make successive sowings.

When To Plant
Spring and Summer.

Harvest
5-7.5cm (2-3in) high above the crown.

Sow
Spring, Summer
