Attractively fringed and crinkled pale green leaves with a crimson edge form a loose heart.  They add colour to the salad bowl and they have a great flavour!

growing information

Sowing Indoors

Almost fill a seed tray with moist seed compost. Sow seeds thinly over the surface, and lightly cover them with a little more compost.

Place in warmth 10-15C (50-60F) and keep moist. When large enough to handle, transplant seedlings 5cm (2in) apart into trays of potting compost. Gradually accustom them to conditions outside for 2-3 weeks before planting out to their cropping positions 25cm (10in) apart from late spring onwards. Water plants generously in dry weather.

Sowing Outdoors

Sow seeds thinly in a pre-watered shallow row. Lightly covering with a little soil.

Keep soil moist, as dry conditions impair germination. Allow 45cm (18in) between rows. Small sowings made every three weeks ensure a continuous supply.

Growing on / thinning

Thin seedlings to about 25cm (10in) apart when large enough to handle. Ensure remaining seedlings are still firm in the soil.

Special note

Pick leaves as required. Lollo Rossa does not produce a 'heart'.
