'Lollo Rossa' Lettuce

Extremely productive variety, really appreciated in ‘nouvelle cuisine’ as much as for its excellent flavour than its decorative qualities.


Type of soil: All.
Sowing time: From March to May and from August to September. The lettuces should be sown at intervals so that they are not all ready at the same moment.
Harvest time: 2 to 3 months after sowing.
Site: Full sun.


Sow directly into the ground:
- Lettuce seeds are not sensitive to the cold.
- Sow in rows, cover with a thin layer of compost and water using a fine spray.
- After the plants come through they should be thinned to about one plant every 20cm.


Care:
- Water them abundantly if there is a lack of rain.
- Put straw around them.
- Harvest the lettuce as required once they are properly formed.
