A compact romaine-type lettuce forming neat, upright hearts with crisp leaves and a sweet, mild flavour. It’s quick to grow, reliable in cool conditions, and perfect for succession sowing, making it ideal for small gardens, raised beds, and cut-and-come-again growing. Harvest whole for firm mini hearts, or pick leaves young for fresh salads throughout the season.

HOW TO SOW:
Sow Indoors - a few seeds onto pots or cells of most compost and cover with 1cm of soil. Ideal temp 15-20°C. Transplant into final positions when large enough to withstand pests 15cm appart
 
Sow Direct - thinly into rows in a preapared seed bed 1cm deep. Thin to 15cm when large enough to handle, thinnings can aso be transplanted.
