A frilly red lettuce that’s absolutely gorgeous in salads, on sandwiches or when used to pretty up the plate. Like other loose leaf lettuces, it’s relatively heat tolerant, but will bolt in the hottest weather. Compost-rich, moist soils are best, and they also do well in containers. With such pretty colour, they’re great in the flower garden too.

  • Growing Information

    How to Sow

    Because the small seeds have to be sown quite shallowly, it will be easier to keep seeds moist during germination if sown in trays. Alternatively, sow a few seeds in planting stations at the correct spacing and thin after germination. Sprinkle a little loose soil over the seeds till they are no longer visible and keep moist.

    How to Harvest

    As soon as the outer leaves reach a good size, you can begin cutting them for use. Pick during the coolest times of the day for best crunchiness. If you harvest a whole head, leave about 3cm of stem – it may resprout.

    I have grown this type of lettuce before and was very happy with it. I very much look forward to planting it in the cooler seasons.
