Organic Lettuce 'Mixture' Seeds

Growing schedule: Sow under cover from mid-February for growing on indoors; or from April to July for outdoor cultivation. For a late crop, sow in late summer and grow on indoors. 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: For baby leaf, harvest from 10cm. 

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