Lactuca sativa
A must for your salads, Romulus is a new Romaine type that produces rich, glossy green leaves with a beautiful contrasting blanched interior. The heads grow to a height of approximately 12 in., showcasing slightly savoyed leaves that lend texture and visual interest to any salad bowl.
Size: Mature plant reaches about 12 in. tall.
Yield: Approximately 900 seeds per gram can provide a robust harvest for a summer of fresh salads.
Taste: Crisp and refreshing with a rich, mild flavour that complements a variety of dressings and toppings.
How to use: Ideal for salads, sandwiches, and wraps, offering a crunchy texture and vibrant colour in dishes.
Planting tips: Sow seeds outdoors as soon as soil conditions permit, covering lightly with soil at a depth of about 1/4 in. Space seeds 6 to 7 per 1 ft. of row in fertile garden soil under full sun to encourage thriving plants. Thin seedlings to 8 in. apart when 2 in. high; succession seeding every 10 to 14 days will ensure continuous harvests.
Harvest tips: Pick leaves as needed for crispness; the best flavour is achieved just before the head begins to flower.
