Lettuce Lollo Biondo Seeds
$3.90
Unit price perLactuca sativa
Lollo Biondo is an attractive Italian Looseleaf Lettuce producing masses of finely curled, deeply ruffled leaves in a fresh, pale green. The green counterpart to the better-known Lollo Rosso, it brings the same distinctive frilled form to the garden with a lighter, brighter appearance.
The crisp leaves have a refreshing flavour with a delicate hint of bitterness that gives them more character than many mild lettuces. Their highly ruffled edges add texture and volume to salads and make an attractive addition to sandwiches, wraps and garnishes.
Rather than waiting to harvest the entire plant, Lollo Biondo is particularly well suited to cut-and-come-again harvesting. Pick individual outer leaves as required while leaving the central growing point intact, and plants will continue producing fresh foliage over an extended period.
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.
Like most lettuces, Lollo Biondo prefers fertile, well-drained soil with a near-neutral pH and consistent moisture. It performs best in mild conditions, with some afternoon shade beneficial as temperatures increase.
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 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 crisp, 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.
