Wintercrop (naturally nurtured seed is from an organic source) – this lettuce is perfectly named: this lovely mid green butterhead produces lots of sweet, juicy leaves for early spring (March & April) and if you sow some in an unheated greenhouse or coldframe you will be munching in December…home grown lettuce for Christmas.
Price for 75 seeds
Timing is everything!
July* sowing for autumn
August* & September open sowing for spring cutting
September and October sowing (in an unheated greenhouse or coldframe) for December/January
Early spring sowing under cloches
If your garden is in a cooler area this lettuce ought to be a top choice
*most lettuces are reluctant to germinate in hotter weather…chilling the seed in a fridge overnight before sowing will help.
