Product Description

This red-bronze cousin of ' Green Oak Leaf' Lettuce ' Cocarde' is productive & tasty for months at a stretch. When the garden at Perch Hill was open, more people asked about this lettuce than any other.

Serial sow Lettuce ' Cocarde', three or four times from early spring to autumn -for picking almost all year.

Sowing: Direct sow in small batches every 4-6 weeks from February-September in lines, or blocks, straight into the ground. The plants need plenty of water, but not too much sun. A cool, northern bed, kept moist is ideal. Hot weather inhibits germination. Water the drill before sowing in warmer months to decrease temperatures & sow in the evening. Final Thinning/ Planting Distance: 20-25cm Harvesting: 6-8 weeks from sowing, for harvesting almost all year.
