Product description
Leaf lettuce “Lollo Rosso” (Lactuca sativa var. Crispa)
"Lollo rosso" is for those who like lettuce but don't eat the whole head at once. You tear off its leaves one by one, from the bottom. They grow back quickly and as a result you have 2 or even 3 harvests per planting season. The red leaves of the 'Lollo rosso' variety are crispy and tender, and they have more vitamin C and A than the green leaves of other lettuces. You can also eat overgrown seedlings of this variety, i.e. baby leaf.
This variety, as well as other salads, can be successfully grown on the balcony in a sufficiently deep pot. The position should be sunny and the soil should be deep and rich.
