Sensational deep red to almost black colour, good size, vigour, slow to bolt and good flavour. Continental Looseleaf Revolution can be grown under glass or outside. What more do you need from this triple red Lollo Rosso lettuce?
Continental Looseleaf Revolution is also resistant to Bremia NL1-16.
Sow seeds thinly from spring to mid summer 6mm (žin) deep in drills 23cm (9in) apart. A moist, well drained, fertile soil which has had plenty of compost dug in the previous autumn is best. In very hot weather it is best to water the soil before sowing and sow during the early afternoon.
Thin out gradually to 23cm (9in) apart.
To harvest don't pull the whole plant - be selective - go down the row choosing only the largest, tenderest leaves. This way it will continue to replace itself the whole season.
The dark green leaves of lettuce are a good source of beta-carotene and Vitamin A.
