Lettuce Speckled Trout

£2.95

An old Austrian heirloom winter variety of cos lettuce, its vivid green leaves look like they have a delightful splattering of maroon freckles. It’s particularly cold hardy, so is great for a longer harvest period. Its flavour is beautifully buttery and its structure delivers a satisfying crunch.

Heat tolerant and cold hardy, can be grown nearly year round.

Additional Information

Growing Information

Sowing info

Surface sow onto moist compost and just cover. Lettuce will not germinate in hot weather, so do not supplement heat and avoid sowing in the hottest days of summer. Plant out after last frost.

Growing info

Heat tolerant and slow to bolt. When you harvest lettuce, you can just remove the lower, outer leaves to significantly extend your harvest period as the plant will continue to grow. Regular succession sowing will ensure a contiunuous crop.
