Arctic King: enjoy tasty light green crinkled leaves for fresh green salads in late winter and hearted butterheads from early spring (75 seeds)
Rouge de Hiver: ‘Red of Winter’, a French heirloom bringing colour and flavour to your plate. Think side salad with pasta dishes or a splash of colour alondside grilled chicken and greens! (75 seeds)
Wintercrop: sow now for lovely mid-green butterhead lettuces from around Christmas and into January, packed with sweet, juicy leaves. (75 seeds)
I didn’t think these three names needed much introducing, they pretty much tell you why they’re such good choices for this time of year!
These lettuces don’t mind the chill as we move from autumn into winter. They will appreciate some protection though, particularly from the wet, wind and worst of the winter weather. So if you have open-ended cloches, an unheated greenhouse, a cold frame or a tomato growhouse you can repurpose, you could be picking homegrown lettuce when the summer salad season is a distant memory
Why not pair this collection with the Cool Season Salads and make this an autumn winter of homegrown gorgeousness?
