Organic 'Mesclun' Lettuce seeds

Growing schedule: Sow in March for growing indoors; or from April to August for outdoor cultivation. Sow successively for continuous cropping.

Sowing depth: Cover with only a thin layer of soil as lettuce seeds need light to germinate.

Germination: Ideal germination temperature is 10-15°C, 7 -10 days.

Planting distance: 20cm between plants; 25cm between rows

Growing conditions: Lettuce doesn’t do well in high temperatures – it enjoys full sun, but may benefit from partial shade in the hotter months of the year. It grows best in moist, well-draining soil.

Harvest: Cut at 10cm high for baby leaf.

Number of seeds: Each pack contains 1.25g of organic seed.
