Super productive variety 
Easy to grow

I spent time when I was a child staying in the beautiful medieval hill town, Asolo, in the foothills of the Dolomites in Italy

We used to buy mixed baby leaf salad in the market, and take it home and dress it with a little olive oil and lemon juice. This mix of salad leaves is inspired by the memory.

We sowed this in September last year, and were still picking from the same patch in June. Incredible, and hugely recommended – I love it.

This mix contains:
  • Lettuce 'Little Gem'
  • Lettuce 'Tango'
  • Lettuce 'Batavia Red'
  • Lettuce 'Batavia Green'
  • Lettuce 'Cerbiatta'
  • Lettuce 'Red Salad Bowl'

Care Tips

Lettuces need plenty of water, but not too much sun. Hot weather increases the likelihood of them going to seed.
