Mixed Lettuce Leaves Seeds

• Ideal for gardens where space is limited or in large pots if kept well-watered.

How to grow Mixed Lettuce Leaves

• Sow outdoors, from March to August, thinly where they are to crop, 1.5cm (½in) deep, directly into prepared soil that has been watered or containers with good-quality compost.
• For mature lettuces, allow 25cm (10in) between rows and thin to 20cm (8in) apart.
• For cut and come again baby leaves, allow 15cm (6in) between rows or sow thinly direct into 25cm (10in) pots.
• Early sowings may benefit from cloche protection.
• Seedlings usually appear in 7-14 days. No further thinning should be necessary.
• Protect young seedlings with netting or fleece to deter birds and insects.
• Keep moist, particularly in warmer weather.
• Regular sowings made every 2-3 weeks will ensure a continuous supply of leaves.
• Pick a few leaves from each plant when approx. 10cm (4in) high; they will regrow for up to 4 cuts.

Harvest whole plants from May.

Please allow us 3-5 working days to dispatch your order. Pre-ordered items will be sent as soon as possible after the date quoted and we'll generally ship your entire order with your pre-ordered items. When your order is dispatched, we'll send you another email with details of how to track it.

Most orders are sent on a fully-tracked courier service with Yodel. To avoid perishable items being stuck at depots and deteriorating, no signature is required, and our courier is asked to leave your order in a safe place on your property.

We'll send a tracking link when we dispatch your order, so you know when its due to arrive. Please note, once delivered we cannot be held responsible for loss or theft from your property. If you have any specific delivery instructions, please let us know - there's an option to enter a short message for the courier at the checkout.

Smaller, lighter, single-item orders may be sent through the post with Royal Mail - in which case no tracking is available.

Our experienced nursery team will always send your plants nursery fresh in the perfect condition to thrive when you plant them, so although most plants are very tough and will not be affected by all but the most extreme frosts or heatwaves, we avoid dispatching the most perishable plants if extreme weather is forecast, or over Bank Holiday weekends.

Please note, we cannot guarantee delivery on a certain day or time. Delivery to outlying postcode areas may take 1-2 days longer, dependent on your location.
