How to Grow
Lettuce 'Lollo Bionda' is best sown outdoors from March to August in a sunny spot with well-drained soil that retains moisture. It thrives on terraces, in containers, or garden beds where it can receive moderate sunlight.
Sowing
Sow the small seeds thinly about 1cm deep in soil that has been well prepared with garden compost and cleared of stones, ensuring rows are spaced 30cm apart to aid germination and growth.
Growing
Thin seedlings carefully to allow space for the crisp, frilly leaves to develop fully, ideally maintaining the recommended 30cm spacing to accommodate its growth in containers or beds up to 40cm in size.
Plant care
Keep the soil consistently moist during the growing months of June to September, watering regularly but avoiding waterlogging. Succession sowing every few weeks will ensure a continuous harvest of tender leaves, and harvesting the outer leaves encourages the plant to produce more frilly salad foliage.
