The outer foliage develops its richest bronze colouring in good light, surrounding a tender, creamy-coloured heart.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe leaves have the soft texture and mild, buttery flavour characteristic of butterhead lettuces, with enough crispness to give them excellent substance in salads. Harvest individual outer leaves as required or allow plants to form their compact heads, reaching approximately 20 cm across.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCultivated for well over a century, Bronze Mignonette is particularly valued for its adaptability. It performs well in both humid and dry warm climates and shows useful resistance to premature bolting, allowing it to remain productive as conditions begin to warm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLettuce 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLike most lettuces, Bronze Mignonette prefers fertile, well-drained soil with a near-neutral pH and consistent moisture. Some afternoon shade can be beneficial during warmer weather.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSeed count: approximately 600–1,000 seeds\/g\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eApproximately 200 seeds per packet\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhen to Plant (Australia)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTropics: Autumn to winter\u003cbr\u003eSubtropics: Autumn to spring\u003cbr\u003eMild climates: Autumn to spring\u003cbr\u003eCold climates: Spring to autumn\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlanting \/ Sowing\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSow shallowly, approximately 3–5 mm deep, directly into prepared soil or raise in trays for transplanting.
