LETTUCE - FRECKLES - ORGANIC

Lactuca sativa

The Butterhead lettuce speckles is an heirloom that originated from Germany and Holland over 200 years ago. The unusual speckling of these tender, mild thick but soft leaves will add visual interest to every salad. Very rarely is it bitter and it is quick maturing. Lettuces like to be grown in mild conditions and do not like hot weather. They should be sown often to ensure a continuous supply. Sow the seeds very shallowly and rake in lighlty. Keep the soil moist for the continued life of the plant and you will be rewarded with lovely salad greens. Any dryness will result in bitter leaves and bolting will result. Sow in all months in mild areas and cease sowing during mid winter in cold areas. Cease sowing during hot conditions or whenever they can be expected to arise. Lettuces grow well under trees where they receive dappled shade.
