Loved for its great taste and excellent quality heads. Small romaine lettuce with an excellent yellow heart. Slightly savoyed dark green and shiny leaves. Very neat appearance and growth. Slow to bolt. Resistant to downy mildew. Use instead of Iceberg to add extra crunch to your favourite salad. Harvest June-October. Height 20-30cm (8-12"); spread 11-20cm (4-8").

Growing Information

Sow thinly into finely raked, warm, moist soil at a depth of 13mm (½") in blocks or rows, sprinkling a few seeds every 30cm (12"). (Germination 6-12 days.) Remove surplus seedlings to leave the strongest at each station. Use the 'thinnings' as baby leaves. Lettuce grows best in well-cultivated soil in a sunny position. Water freely during dry weather. Early sowings may be started undercover and planted out.
