Here's the perfect baby lettuce mix! A vibrant blend of red, light green, and dark green leaves (both smooth and ruffled) that grows together beautifully. This salad combo not only enhances visual appeal but also provides a wealth of vitamins, making it a healthy choice for any garden. Sowing this mix will ensure a continuous harvest of fresh greens ready for salads and sandwiches throughout the warm months.
Size: Mature plants reach about 6 to 10 in. tall with a similar spread, providing ample leaves for harvesting.
Yield: Regular picking encourages dense leaf growth, allowing for multiple harvests throughout the season.
Taste: Crisp and refreshing with a delicate, mild flavour suitable for a wide range of salads and gourmet dishes.
How to use: Ideal for fresh salads, garnishes, and sandwiches. These tender leaves can be enjoyed raw for their fresh, succulent taste.
Planting tips: Sow seeds outdoors as soon as soil conditions allow, covering lightly with soil. Space them 6 to 8 in. apart when seedlings are 2 in. high. They thrive in sunny locations with average garden soil and benefit from successive sowings every 10 to 14 days to ensure a steady supply.
Harvest tips: Begin harvesting young leaves once they reach about 4 in. for a tender bite. Consistent harvesting encourages regrowth, ensuring you have plenty of fresh lettuce all summer long.
