Description

Very fast-growing and mildew-tolerant variety suitable for growing outdoors as well as under glass and film. Even faster growing than the Vit variety. Compact, smooth-leaved plants with high individual plant weight. Robust against downy mildew. Tends to spoon when sown early, so not suitable for first sets in summer.

Non hybrid

Growing tips

If lamb's lettuce is sown in hot and dry August, this can lead to considerable emergence problems. Shading with a fleece and watering the soil before sowing can help here. Lamb's lettuce needs little nitrogen and should never be grown after legumes.
