Product description

Lettuce 'Red Salad Bowl' is a striking and versatile variety known for its deeply lobed, vibrant red leaves. This fast-growing, compact lettuce is not only visually appealing but also packed with flavour, making it a popular choice for fresh salads and garnishes. Its tender, mildly sweet leaves are perfect for adding colour and texture to your dishes, and the plant's compact growth habit makes it ideal for both small gardens and container growing.

Sowing Lettuce 'Red Salad Bowl' is straightforward and rewarding. Begin sowing seeds directly outdoors from March through July, ensuring the soil is well-prepared and fertile. To enjoy a continuous supply of fresh lettuce, sow seeds every 2-3 weeks. Once the seedlings emerge, thin them out to 15-30cm apart to allow ample space for growth and to promote healthy, robust plants. Position your lettuce in a sunny spot, as they thrive in full sun.

Harvesting is simple and can be done from May to October. You can pick the outer leaves as needed, allowing the plant to continue growing, or cut the entire head when it reaches maturity. Regular watering and a well-drained soil will support healthy growth and help prevent the leaves from becoming bitter, ensuring a consistent supply of fresh, tasty lettuce throughout the growing season.
