Description

New breeding in 'picking lettuce' to give a crisp textured leaf of excellent flavour. Simply cut the stem of Lettuce Multy and the multi-leaved head falls to pieces, so you can just rinse, shake dry and it is ready for the sandwich or salad bowl.

Lettuce Multy has excellent downy mildew resistance for a long season of production.

Sowing Instructions

Sow seeds March to August. Sow seeds thinly 13mm (½in) deep in drills 30cm (12in) apart in soil which has been raked to a fine tilth.

Growing Instructions

When large enough to handle, thin out seedlings to 30cm (12in) apart. Harvest a few leaves from each plant, or cut a full head and keep surplus leaves in the fridge where they will remain fresh for several days.
