Description

We grow cos lettuces for their invaluable crunch, and with these three, for their wonderful colour too — one bright green, one crimson and one green splotched with crimson. Harvest regularly as individual leaves or the heart all in one go.

This mix contains:
  • Lettuce 'Freckles'
  • Lettuce 'Moonred'
  • Lettuce 'Parris Island Cos'

Care Tips

Lettuces need plenty of water, but not too much sun. Hot weather increases the likelihood of them going to seed.
