Lettuce Miniko

Choose Miniko for a lovely, crisp and delicious, one lettuce per day, mini-iceberg experience! Ideal for growing in smaller spaces or for a smaller household and ideal for spring, summer and autumn harvests. Sweet taste, fresh crunch and slow to bolt – fabulous choice for home growing.

SOW: from mid-February to the end of July. Seed depth 10-15mm, we find it best to start them in modules or trays and transplant so that there is no need to thin. Sow some seed every 2-3 weeks for a succession of lettuces over a longer period of time.

GROW: when large enough to handle plant out at 20-25cm apart. Set at the same depth, planting deeper will give you smaller heads. Grow in rows or pop into any available spaces or between slower growing veggies.

TOP TIP: for hot weather - place the seed packet in the fridge overnight, this cooling down will help improve germination.
