***COMING NOVEMBER 1ST***
Maravilla de Verano was the stand out lettuce in our 2025 lettuce trial (one of the driest summers on record). While all the other varieties had bolted or turned bitter, this beauty stayed luscious, succulent and sweet. It's a glorious Batavian type with large green leaves, tinged with red. A standout variety for summer salad production and great for gardeners who tend to forget to water their plants.
- Sow: Feb-May undercover, May-July outside. Stagger sowings for continuous supply.
- Plant: 4-6 weeks after sowing, plant 20cm apart
- Harvest: Feb-April
- Kitchen: Best used in salads.
- Notes: To make the most out of your space, you can sow/plant 10cm apart then harvest every other plant leaving the remaining half to head up. Do not let seeds get hot when germinating. 15C is ideal, anything above 18C encourages seed dormancy.
