Cultivation method:

Lettuce 'Sucrine' prefers a light, fresh and well-drained soil. Sow directly in the open ground or in pots, preferably in spring, when temperatures are moderate. The spacing between plants should be about 15 cm to allow for optimal leaf development. Water regularly to maintain constant humidity, especially during the growing season.

It pairs well with companion plants such as radishes, carrots and onions, but should be kept away from cabbages and beets. Perfect for small gardens, urban vegetable gardens or container gardens, 'Sucrine' lettuce will provide you with a delicious harvest of crisp, sweet leaves.
