Kings Lettuce Analena Seeds

Voluminous heads have a wonderful fresh green colour with excellent flavour. Stands well over a long period without bolting. An impressive and outstanding variety. When to Sow: February to July. Where to Sow: Sowings can be made under glass, sow seeds into pots or trays of seed sowing compost at a temperature of 15-20°C and lightly cover seeds with sprinkling of vermiculite or compost. Alternatively sow seeds from April thinly along rows 1.5cm (1/2in) deep and 30cm (12in) apart direct in the vegetable plot. What to do Next: Sowings made under glass can be pricked out into individual pots or module trays and grown on until ready to harden off and plant out into the vegetable plot 30cm (12in) apart between the plants and the rows. Seedlings sown direct outside can be thinned once large enough to handle to 30cm (12in) apart. Thinnings can also be transplanted into other rows, watered in well during hot dry spells. Early and later sowings can benefit from cloche protection. Harvest: 10-12 weeks after planting. Nutritional Value: High in anti-oxidants, folic acid and vitamin C.
