Product Description
Is it celery, or is it lettuce? Technically, celtuce, also known as Chinese lettuce, gives you the benefits of both. The plant is the same species as regular lettuce, but forms a thick stem. Enjoy the leaves in salads, and use the stems as a vegetable. If you're into authentic Chinese cookery, then this plant is a must for your veggie garden and if you've never tried it before, you'll have fun exploring its many uses.

Growing Information
How to Sow
Like head lettuce, these plants need a fairly cool growing season. Start them in late summer to autumn unless you are in a cooler climate, in which case spring sowing will also be fine. Sow the seeds about 5-6mm deep and keep moist.
How to Harvest
Pick outer leaves for salads and cut the stems for eating as a vegetable when they reach their mature height of 20-30cm
