- Lactuca sativa
Bag of 1 gram
This variety, which is highly resistant to bremia and necrosis and slow to bolt, produces a red apple surrounded by round, waffle-shaped leaves with wavy edges. They have a firm texture and pleasant flavor.
Sow in pots or slabs at a temperature of 10-18°C, one month before planting. Cover the seeds with a thin layer of soil, press lightly and water. Once the plants have 4 leaves, prick out. Alternatively, sow lightly in rows 30 cm apart, every 15 days, to stagger harvesting. Thin to 10 cm, then 30 cm. This sowing technique produces more resistant plants, less susceptible to bolting.
