Description

Late-shooting cut lettuce/pluck lettuce 'Salad Bowl' with a long harvest period can be planted both in the garden and on the balcony. This oakleaf lettuce produces large, relatively loose heads and heavily crowded bushes. However, it can just as easily be harvested as baby leaf lettuce, which is why it can be sown in containers. The leaves look particularly appetizing due to their wavy structure and green color, are tender and tasty and grow back within two to three weeks.

Non hybrid

Not frost resistant

Growing tips

Gradually pick the outer individual leaves while the plant continues to grow out of the lettuce heart. Germination at 16-22°C approx. 5 -8 days. Seeds can be sown from March to August. The first harvest takes place just 4 to 5 weeks after sowing. Overall, the harvest period runs from May to September. This lettuce can be used as picking lettuce or head lettuce. Picking lettuce can be grown from spring to fall and, like other lettuces, requires sufficient moisture. However, they require slightly more nutrients than lettuce. If the plants are closely spaced, the inside of the plant bleaches and turns yellow. These parts of the lettuce head taste particularly tender. As lettuces form a taproot, the seedlings should not be pre-cultivated.
