Lettuce Oak Leaf Green Seeds
$3.90
Unit price perLactuca sativa
Green Oak Leaf is a classic Looseleaf Lettuce producing attractive open rosettes of deeply lobed, bright green leaves shaped much like the leaves of an oak tree. Soft, tender and decorative, it is an excellent variety for both the vegetable garden and mixed edible plantings.
The leaves have a mild, sweet flavour and delicate texture, making them particularly good for fresh salads, sandwiches and wraps. The deeply lobed shape adds volume and texture to salad mixes and pairs beautifully with contrasting red and bronze lettuce varieties.
Green Oak Leaf is particularly well suited to cut-and-come-again harvesting. Individual outer leaves can be picked as required while leaving the central growing point intact, allowing plants to continue producing fresh leaves over an extended period. Baby leaves can also be harvested young for salad mixes.
Lettuce is one of the world’s oldest cultivated salad vegetables, grown for thousands of years and spreading through the ancient Mediterranean world. Today its enormous diversity includes looseleaf, cos, butterhead and crisphead forms adapted to a wide range of climates and seasons.
Green Oak Leaf performs well through much of the year but is best grown outside the hottest part of summer. Like most lettuces, it prefers fertile, well-drained soil with a near-neutral pH and consistent moisture. Some afternoon shade can help extend production as temperatures rise.
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 late 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 and germinates best in cool to mild conditions.
Space plants approximately 20–30 cm apart for mature plants, or sow more closely for baby-leaf production. Grow in full sun during cooler weather or provide some afternoon shade as temperatures increase.
Keep soil consistently moist to encourage tender growth and reduce stress that can cause bitterness or premature bolting. Harvest individual outer leaves regularly, leaving the centre intact for continued production.
Due to quarantine restrictions, TAS has an 800g limit per each seed variety and WA has a 10,000 seeds limit per variety.
