With a crisp texture and mild, slightly sweet flavour, 'Romana' lettuce is perfect for salads, wraps, sandwiches and fresh garnishes. Versatile and easy to grow, it adapts equally well to open ground or container growing, offering a practical solution for urban gardens or smaller spaces.
For best results, sow seeds directly into well-drained, organically rich soil at a depth of 0.5 to 1 cm. Space plants 25 to 30 cm apart to allow for good air circulation and optimal apple development. Water regularly, maintaining constant but not excessive moisture.
Seeds germinate in 7 to 14 days, ensuring a quick and productive crop. Harvest outer leaves as they grow to prolong production or wait until the heads are fully formed for a larger harvest.
'Romana' lettuce is an excellent choice for gardeners looking for a tasty, hardy variety that's perfect for adding freshness and crunch to your dishes.
