This good yielding buttercrunch lettuce has compact heads with crumpled outer leaves and soft, lightly wavy centers. Smaller than other buttercrunch varieties, these mild tasting beauties are ideal for growing in small gardens including raised beds, pots or window boxes.
Sow direct where it is to grow or raise in trays of Yates Black Magic Seed Raising Mix. Transplant when 3-4cm high.
Plant in a well-drained, Sunny position adding Yates Thrive Natural Garden Lime and Yates Thrive Natural Blood & Bone to the soil before planting. Water regularly and feed weekly with Yates Thrive Natural Fish & Seaweed + Plant Food. Make successive sowings every few weeks. Water at base of plant, rather than overhead, to minimise risk of disease. Protect from snails and slugs.
Can pick individual outer leaves or harvest whole. Great to grow with other salad ingredients such as basil, tomatoes, cucumber, parsley, beetroot, radish and carrots.
