Lettuce New Red Fire

Fabulous: with New Red Fire  you will enjoy crisp, frilly, sweet leaves which are light green at the base and then deeply filled in dark wine red. Impressive.

Price for 75 seeds.

SOW: a little seed, 5-10mm deep, every 2-3 weeks from March to early August. You can start them in modules and transplant so that there is no need to thin.

GROW: plant out when large enough to do so at about 20-25 apart. Protect early sowings with cloches in cold weather while they establish themselves. Watch out for slugs and snails – they love lettuces

EAT: New Red Fire can be cut young for baby leaves or allowed to grow into crispheads you can slice or shred. Enjoy the flavour on its own or mixed with a range of other salad leaves such as Pak Choi, Purslane and Rocket
