Product Information
Eye-catching and full of flavour, this attractive and fast growing variety has been bred primarily for use as baby leaves, giving a quick sowing to harvest period and excellent crops of succulent and nutritious leaves. Best served just wilted into a variety of dishes. Shows some resistance to mildew.
Sowing Instructions
Sow outdoors, February to August. Thinly where they are to crop, 2.5cm (1") deep directly into finely prepared soil which has already been watered. Sowings from July onwards should only be grown for baby leaves. Allow 30cm (12") between rows. Early sowings may benefit from cloche protection. Seedlings usually appear within 7-14 days. Water well and ensure soil remains moist to prevent plants from running to seed. Harvest unthinned as baby leaves. Take a few leaves from each plant allowing them to regrow for 2 to 3 more pickings. Or, thin out to 10cm (4") apart to produce mature plants. Regular sowings made every 2 to 3 weeks will ensure a continuous supply. Pick young leaves regularly to encourage further growth. Do not allow plants to dry out as this will make them bolt.
