Introduce the rich, burgundy-red hues of Lettuce Salad Bowl Red to your garden, a looseleaf variety that's as visually appealing as it is delicious.

Why Grow Lettuce Salad Bowl Red?

• 🥗 Striking Burgundy-Red Leaves: The deep lobed, richly colored leaves not only add a splash of color to your garden but also to any salad dish.

• 🌱 Slow to Bolt: This variety stays lush and tasty longer, even in warmer temperatures, making it a reliable choice throughout the growing season.

• 🌿 Versatile Harvest: Excellent for harvesting as baby leaves for a tender salad mix or allowed to mature into full rosettes for a more substantial addition to meals.

Optimal Growing Conditions:

• Sowing Time: Ideal for planting from spring to autumn, providing flexibility for multiple growing cycles in a year.

• Sow Depth: Plant seeds at a depth of 3 mm, shallow enough to ensure quick germination while still covered lightly by soil.

• Spacing: Space plants 30 x 30 cm apart to allow each lettuce ample room to expand and flourish.

Garden Uses and Culinary Ideas:

• Salad Mixes: Young leaves can be harvested early for a delicate addition to salad mixes, offering a mild, sweet flavor without the bitterness often associated with red lettuces.

• Edible Landscaping: Use Salad Bowl Red to add color to edible landscapes. Its vibrant leaves make it a decorative as well as practical choice for garden beds and borders.

• Container Gardening: Suitable for container planting, where it can be easily accessed for regular harvesting.

Care Tips:

• Watering: Keep soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Lettuce roots are shallow, so they require frequent watering, especially in dry conditions.

• Feeding: A balanced, liquid fertilizer can be applied every two weeks to support healthy growth and optimum leaf production.

• Mulching: Applying a thin layer of mulch around the plants can help retain soil moisture and suppress weeds.
