Organic 'Valdor' Lettuce seed
Growing schedule: Sow from late January to April; or sow from August to early October for autumn picking and for overwintering. 'Valdor' is well-suited to outdoor cultivation in autumn and late spring but will do best under cover over the winter. 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, max. 18°C.
Planting distance: Space plants 25 x 25 cm apart in a greenhouse or polytunnel; in open ground ca. 30 x 30 cm.
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 heads from February (for crops sown in Autumn and grown indoors) to June (for crops sown in early Spring).
Number of seeds: Each pack contains 1.25g of organic seed.
