Loose leaf lettuce, Lollo Rosso

This lettuce does not form hearts and can be used over a long time by just using the outside leaves. It is very tasty and adds lovely colour to your salad.

Young lettuce plants.

First lettuce plants for this year planted on my balcony 17th April. They are of the variety "Little Gem" and are ideal for a salad for one person. I sow seed every week to ensure regular supply throughout the Summer.
