Head lettuce, Red butterhead
Lactuca sativa var. capitata
This tender red-leaved lettuce is great for spring and autumn cultivation. Since not all heads mature at the same time, this lettuce is ideal for a continuous supply. It is the choice for having fresh salads on demand, whenever you want them.
Growing instructions
Sow from March to April in seedling trays. Transplant seedlings into the open field from April to May at a distance of 30 ✕ 30 cm. For autumn crops, sow in July. Lettuce responds well to mature compost and regular irrigation. Intercropping with other vegetables works exceptionally well.
