Lettuce Jericho

Sweet, tender and crisp Jericho can be grown to its statuesque tall glory and still keep all of its quality even in the hottest of summers. If you love cut-&-come-again then your first crop will be after just 4 weeks, otherwise leave longer to reach its full romaine potential

Price for 75 seeds.

This variety is part of our naturally nurtured range, the seed comes from an organic source

SOW: with protection in March then outside until the end of August. A little seed every 2-3 weeks will give you a succession of lettuces. Direct sow for cut-&-come-again. For heads you can start them in modules and transplant so that there is no need to thin them out

GROW: plant out when large enough to do so at about 25-30cm apart. Jericho likes regular watering in the summer to reach its full height (ours have been 45cm tall). Watch out for slugs and snails – they love lettuces!

EAT: your first cut can be taken after 4 weeks or so. Allow 8-9 weeks for the romaine  heads.
