Batavia lettuce, Unicum
Lactuca sativa var. capitata
The dark-green leaves are nicely speckled with red dots. This optical conspicuousness is only one of its delightful features. It also has heavy, crisp heads which fill the salad bowl. This lettuce bolts late, so it is suitable for spring and fall cultivation. We highly recommend it!
Growing instructions
Sow from March and onwards into seedling trays. Transplant at the 3–5 leaf stage. Plant out in April to the open field at 30 ✕ 30 cm spacing. It is great for intercropping with other vegetables.
