A soft, sweet, butterhead lettuce that provides a densely bunch abundance of green and bronze hued leaves. Although a heading type of lettuce, we find it best to pick leaf by leaf, which will prevent the plants from bolting to seed.

Position: Full sun, but will tolerate some shade.

Soil: Prepare with compost and well-rotted manure and allow the soil to settle for 1-2 weeks before planting. Fresh manure has a tendency to burn younger lettuce seedlings, so incorporating a green manure in your soil as part of the preparation is also ideal.

Soil pH Level: 6.5-7.5

How to Plant: You can sow the seeds directly into the veggie patch or in punnets, to transplant once germinated. Sow on the surface of the bed. Just make sure that the birds don't peck at the seeds. Use a free draining soil well integrated with compost or good quality potting mix when growing in pots. Plant in rows or scatter sow - depending on what sort of person you are - keeping them well hydrated throughout their lifetime. Will appreciate a fortnightly tonic of liquid seaweed fertiliser.
