Heritage: Italy

Originating in the Mediterranean, particularly Italy, this variety made its’ way to North American in the early 1900’s.

Plants are robust producing tight, attractive bunches when mature. The leaves are bright green with delicate notches resembling French oakleaf varieties. Flavour is bright and fresh, with just a snap of attitude! This variety has become a very popular in mesclun mixes. Able to retain its mild manner longer than most, and one of the last to bolt. An excellent Autumn lettuce as well. Bravissimo! Matures in 45-50 days. (1,000 seeds/g)

Tips for Growing Luscious Lettuce! Lettuce is a cool weather crop, enjoying full sun until the weather heats up, then it will require some shade in the afternoon. We have the best results direct seeding as soon as the ground warms in early spring. Sprinkle seed sparingly on top of the earth. Cover with a very light sprinkling of lose soil. Gently tamp/press soil down so that the seeds are in contact with the earth. Lightly water, thinning to 6” (15cm) apart. For the most flavourful, sweet and crisp lettuce, be sure to harvest early in the morning. The best companion plants for Lettuce are; onions, radishes, carrots, strawberries, and cucumbers. Lettuce usually germinates within 3-10 days (60-70ºF/16-21ºC). Be aware, if temperatures exceed 80ºF/27ºC, seed may fail to germinate at all!
