Lettuce All Year Round

Lettuce All Year Round. A popular and versatile Butterhead variety suitable for sowing all year round and perfect for succession sowings. The heads are medium sized with solid crisp hearts, growing reliably from spring to late autumn even in hot dry periods. Although a hardy variety, autumn sowings should be covered with cloches or planted in a cold greenhouse to ensure cropping through winter.
