Overview
Specifications
- Position: full sun
- Soil: humus-rich, moisture retentive soil
- Rate of growth: average
- Hardiness: frost hardy annual This easy-to-grow, heritage variety from 1885 is a great performer in hot and cold conditions and can be harvested nearly all year round. Slow to bolt, 'Marvel of Four Seasons' produces medium/large butterhead type lettuces with deep crimson outer leaves and light green centre leaves. A great 'all-rounder', and of excellent flavour, autumn sowings will need extra protection during the winter months e.g cloche or horticultural protection fleece.
- Growing instructions: Early in the season sow into trays or modules in the greenhouse or on a windowsill. Thin seedlings to 5cm apart and harden off before planting out, allowing 30cm between plants. Later in the season sow direct where they are to grow in shallow drills, 30cm apart. Protect from slugs and cover early and late sowings with a cloche. A late sowing made in August in a coldframe or in the greenhouse borders will grow on right through winter.
