Product Description
Lollo rosso
Lollo Rosso lettuce is a classic Italian lettuce, with dark copper red fading to bright green, finely crinkled frilly leaves which are crisp, almost brittle when snapped. A most beautiful lettuce!
This lettuce is appreciated for its unique shape and refreshing taste. It holds well in summer heat and in the cold. Harvest outer leaves or the entire plant.
For the best lettuce...
Never sow a whole row at once, a small row about 60cm (2ft) long is adequate for most households. For a continuous crop, sow short rows every two weeks.
Sowing:
Sow indoors: Anytime of year for Babyleaf and 4 weeks before transplanting outside.
Sow outdoors: When soil can be worked in the spring
Spacing in beds : Leaf lettuce for continuous harvest: 1.3cm (½") in bands.
Sow at a seed depth of 6-13mm (¼-½") Seed will germinate in 7-14 days.
The perfect temperature for germination is 4 to 16°C (40-60°F) germination rates decline above 20°C (68°F)
Sow seeds in short rows about 30cm (12”) apart. To do this, make a shallow trench with a cane about 1.5cm (1/2”) deep. Tip a small amount of seed into your hand, take a pinch and spread thinly along the trench. Cover with soil, label and water. If birds are a problem in your garden, spread netting to prevent them eating the seed.
When the seedlings are about 2cm (1”) tall, thin them out to give them space to grow, 15-20cm (6-8”)
