Lollo Rosso grows lovely, long, ruffled leaves that are tender and tasty. They are bronze-red fading to green in the centre. It is ideal for cut and come again use. In addition to the flavour it is also a good source of antioxidants.
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 Rosso 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 filled out lettuce plant 25-30cm apart and cut low down to keep the loose-leaves together.
EAT & ENJOY: on its own for maximum colour impact or mix with other home grown salad ingredients to create your own unique salads...
