D.T. Brown Lettuce Red & Green Salad

Botanical Name: Lactuca sativa

This mixture will brighten up all your Summer salads with both red and green leaves. A crisp, tender, ‘non-hearting’ variety. The leaves can be picked a few at a time whenever they are required. Crops throughout Summer even in hot, dry weather and hardly ever bolts. Lettuces prefer a sunny position and fairly rich soil. The combination of red and green plants make an attractive and useful edging to the vegetable plot or even the flower garden. The packets contain equal quantities of each colour.

We hope you enjoy these vegetable seeds, just another great example of vegetable seeds from Mr Fothergill’s!
