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