More about our red picking lettuce
This tasty lettuce variety grows quickly, shoots very late, and the heads get an enormous amount of firm leaves that are all the same size.
Species name: Salanova Red Butter lettuce (red)
Family: leaf
Quantity per patch: 1
Height: 15 to 25 cm (front or middle row)
Sowing time: April - mid August
Sowing depth: 0.5 to 1 cm
Germination time: between 5 and 18°C ​​in 2 to 14 days
Time to harvest: from 5-7 weeks
Sunlight: can be used in the sun as well as in the shade
This variety is cultivated for professional growers and restaurants. That explains the 'Pro' in the name: because it gives an extra high yield and grows better than regular lettuce.
These seeds have already been pre-germinated, which makes them vulnerable. To protect them, they are coated in a layer of clay. That's why they are expensive, but every head of lettuce will yield you loads of greens for a long time.

You will receive 12 clay pellets, with one seed in each pellet. Therefore, please be careful when sowing.
Please note: These seeds are guaranteed to last for 9 months. Unfortunately, the expiration date on the packets is incorrect and should be January 2024, not January 2026.
This tender Red Butter lettuce is a Salanova variety. That means the leaves remain pretty small, but that is more than made up for by the sheer quantity.
When harvesting, pick the outer leaves and leave the core so it can continue to grow. Since the plants also flower much later than other varieties, you can harvest for months.
Plus, slugs leave red lettuce alone much more than green ones, and the color looks nice on your plate 🙂 .

Growing this lettuce is simple: put a clay pill in a hole and keep the mix moist. Because the heads grow quite large, only 1 mature plant fits in a patch.
In a cold spring you can cover the plants at night with the MM-muts to make them grow faster.
Watch out for snails: they love the seedlings. Once the plants are a bit bigger, they leave this species alone. Super easy.
The step-by-step sowing and cultivation instructions for red lettuce are in the MM-app.

The name says it all: use the leafs as lettuce. They are also very tasty in smoothies.
Start harvesting when the leaves are about 10 cm. Then the leaves are still very tender: great for salads. But even if the leaf is already a bit bigger, it remains tasty.
Only when the plants are older than three months do the leaves become somewhat stiffer and a bit bitter. Then use it for a stew or for stir-frying. Or for a nice soup 😀
