Lollo Biondi is a beautiful fringed pale green lettuce with an excellent flavour, perfect for cut-&-come-again but equally good grown on to maturity. This is a looseleaf type, those fringed leaves look particularly appealing when their edges show in a wrap or sandwich!
This variety is part of our naturally nurtured range, the seed comes from an organic source
SOW: lettuces can be started in modules and transplanted or sown in situ. Sowing a little seed every 2-3 weeks will give you a succession of lettuces.
GROW: for cut and come again use: plant Lollo Biondi as a short row, close spaced and cut when about 10cm high. Each plant will usually resprout to give 2 or 3 cuts. Grown like this the first cut can be taken about 3-4 weeks after sowing. For a more hearted lettuce, plant 25-30cm apart.
EAT & ENJOY: create unique home-grown salads by adding ingredients such as nasturtium flowers, salad burnet or diced peppers
