Winter Lettuce Seed
What’s this you ask? Winter lettuce are simply very-cold-hardy strains, selected for sowing after mid-summer, for harvest in autumn – and with a bit of protection, on into winter. Ideal if you have a polytunnel and want winter salads.
‘Winter Marvel’
A traditional French variety chosen specifically for sowing in late summer and early autumn. It is quite hardy and will do very nicely in an unheated polytunnel or greenhouse, providing salads in winter and spring when they’re most appreciated.
Remarkably cold-resistant and carried on in the polytunnel long after other varieties had given up!
