Marvelous Amazon F1 has an AGM that reflects its quality and flavour – and you could be savouring this British bred beauty at its best direct from your garden – it is mildew resistant too, ideal for our damp mild weather. The glossy dark leaves are very slightly crumpled and can be harvested at any time between 4 to 12 weeks from sowing
To be an AGM winner means that this variety has been outstanding in trials: reliable and with great garden performance.
SOW: from February (with protection) through to April and again in August and September. Sow in situ or in pots for transplanting.
GROW: space plants about 15cm apart. Amazon can be harvested at any time between 4 and 12 weeks when the leaves reach the size you prefer. Pick the leaves carefully as the stems and roots are easily damaged, alternatively pull up the whole plant and replace with a later transplant.
EAT & ENJOY: as soon as possible after harvesting! Small leaves are delightful in salads. Medium leaves can be wilted and used as a bed for fish or meat dishes or included in quiche. Large leaves are also well flavoured.
