Loose heads of delicious, rounded, pale green leaves with frilled edges. Easy to grow. Pick individual leaves as you need them. Ideal for raised beds, patios or veg garden. RHS Award of Garden Merit winner. An expensive, premium salad in the supermarket.
Tom says: Quick and easy lettuces are many peoples first veggie crop. Try mixing red and green lettuce leaves to add a note of bitterness to salads, or try slicing up little gem lettuces and sauteing with peas and garlic for an alternative homegrown lunch.
