Lettuce Australian Yellow Seeds
$3.90
Unit price perLactuca sativa
Australian Yellow is an old looseleaf Lettuce prized for its exceptionally tender leaves, delicate flavour and beautiful colouring. An early-producing variety, it begins with soft, light green leaves that develop into large, gently crinkled foliage with distinctive yellow-green tones as the plant matures.
The leaves have a smooth, tender texture and mild, fresh flavour, making them excellent for salads, sandwiches and wraps. Individual outer leaves can be harvested as required, allowing the centre of the plant to continue producing, or whole plants can be harvested once mature.
Australian Yellow has moderate resistance to bolting and performs particularly well through the cooler months. Like most lettuces, it prefers mild conditions and can struggle in extreme heat, although some afternoon shade can help extend the harvest as temperatures rise.
Lettuce is one of the world’s oldest cultivated salad vegetables, with domestication beginning thousands of years ago and cultivation spreading throughout the ancient Mediterranean world. Today its enormous diversity includes looseleaf, cos, butterhead and crisphead forms adapted to a wide range of growing conditions.
Australian Yellow prefers fertile, well-drained soil with a near-neutral pH and consistent moisture. Its relatively quick growth makes it excellent for successive sowings to maintain a continuous supply of fresh leaves.
Seed count: approximately 600–1,000 seeds/g
Approximately 200 seeds per packet
When to Plant (Australia)
Tropics: Autumn to winter
Subtropics: Autumn to spring
Mild climates: Autumn to spring
Cold climates: Spring to autumn
Planting / Sowing
Sow shallowly, approximately 3–5 mm deep, directly into prepared soil or raise in trays for transplanting. Lettuce seed needs only a light covering of soil and germinates best in cool to mild conditions.
Space plants approximately 20–30 cm apart for full-sized plants, or sow more closely for baby-leaf harvesting. Grow in full sun during cool weather or provide some afternoon shade as temperatures increase.
Keep soil consistently moist to encourage rapid, tender growth and reduce stress that can encourage bolting or bitterness. Harvest individual outer leaves regularly for a continuous supply, or cut the entire plant when it reaches the desired size.
Due to quarantine restrictions, TAS has an 800g limit per each seed variety and WA has a 10,000 seeds limit per variety.
