Lettuce Lollo Rossa

Latin name: Lactuca sativa L.

Lollo Rossa is a delightful medium early variety of leaf lettuce, perfect for those looking to enhance their garden with vibrant colors and flavors. This variety features beautifully curled, green leaves with reddish edges, making it not only a tasty addition to salads but also a visually appealing one.

After sowing, expect to harvest within 45–50 days. It's versatile enough to be grown both in greenhouses and in the open field, thriving in sandy loam or loamy soil that is well-tilled and free from weeds. This lettuce variety prefers light but does not require high heat, making it suitable for the Estonian climate.

To grow Lollo Rossa successfully:

• Sow seeds in early spring or late summer.
• Ensure the soil is rich in nutrients and well-drained.
• Water regularly to keep the soil moist but not soggy.

With its quick regrowth after cutting, Lollo Rossa provides a continuous supply of fresh leaves for your salads, allowing you to enjoy homegrown produce throughout the season.
