Head lettuce, Venetian
Lactuca sativa var capitata
This variety stood out in our trial garden! Originally from the area around Venice, it has beautifully crisp leaves and a bright green color.
Growing instructions
Sow from March and onwards into seedling trays. Transplant at the 3–5 leaf stage. Transplant from April to May to the open field at 30 ✕ 30 cm spacing. For autumn crops, sow in July. Lettuce responds well to mature compost and regular watering. It is great for intercropping with other vegetables.
