Green Leaves Mixed Lettuce. So fast and simple to grow, even in containers. Different shapes and textures make this ideal for salads.

Approx. 1000 seeds

Outdoors: sow thinly March-August where they are to crop, 1.5cm (½") deep, directly into prepared, fertile, moisture-retentive soil, which has been watered. For cut and come again baby leaves, allow 15cm (6") between rows, or sow thinly, directly into 25cm (10") pots with drainage holes. Early sowings may benefit from cloche protection. Seedlings usually appear in 7-14 days. No further thinning should be necessary. Keep moist. Regular sowings, made every two to three weeks, will ensure a continuous supply of leaves. Pick a few from each plant when approx. 10cm (4") high. They will regrow for up to 4 'cuts.'

Harvest: April-October. For mature lettuces, allow 25cm (10") between rows and thin to 20cm (8") apart.

If grown as cut and come again baby leaves, it may be necessary to feed the cut vegetation to encourage re-growth!
