These lettuce seeds are part of the Aimers organic seed range. Its elongated habit and crisp texture suit salads where the leaves need to hold their shape.

Repeat sowing every two weeks while conditions remain favourable and cool. Allow plants enough space to develop their romaine heads. Consistent moisture helps maintain leaf quality as temperatures rise. Bolting resistance is relative: keep watching the centre and harvest before the flower stalk lengthens.
