Organic Lettuce and Radicchio Mesclun Mix (multi-species mixture) combines selected leaf lettuces and chicories or radicchio offering different colours, shapes, maturities, and flavours. Tender young leaves are harvested at a few centimetres tall and quickly create a fresh salad with sweet and lightly tangy notes. Packet 65-5601-01B contains approximately 600 organic seeds. Official maturity is 28 days after sowing. This mixture tolerates cool temperatures and suits successive sowings in vegetable gardens, raised beds, or planters. Mixed leaf forms make every cutting varied while allowing the grower to choose a preferred baby-leaf size. Successive small sowings provide a steadier supply than planting the entire packet at once.
Direct sow as soon as soil can be worked in spring, or start indoors approximately four weeks before transplanting. Germination is faster and more uniform at 10–15°C. Bury seed approximately 5 mm and distribute it densely enough for a baby-leaf harvest. Choose rich, well-drained soil amended with mature compost or decomposed manure. Maintain constant moisture without standing water and provide full sun during cool periods. Light mulch reduces weeds, protects the surface, and helps keep soil cool. Label each sowing date so the 28-day harvest window can be tracked accurately.
Harvest tender leaves early in the morning, approximately 28 days after sowing or once they reach the preferred size. Cut above the growing point with clean scissors to permit multiple regrowths while conditions remain cool and moist. Wash leaves in potable water, drain them thoroughly, and refrigerate promptly. Stagger sowings for a regular supply and provide light shade during heat because water stress and high temperatures accelerate bolting and increase bitterness. Remove any damaged or contaminated foliage before eating. Use clean containers and tools for every cutting and keep harvested leaves cold until serving.

Care level
Intermediate
Watering
Keep soil consistently moist without waterlogging, especially during emergence and after each cutting. Water gently at soil level, preferably in the morning, so baby leaves are not flattened or splashed with soil. Check containers frequently during warm weather because their smaller soil volume dries rapidly. A very fine mulch helps preserve cool conditions but must not smother seedlings. Even moisture supports tender leaves, steady regrowth, and clean harvests while delaying bitterness and premature bolting. Empty any saucer that retains standing water.
Soil type
Prepare rich, loose, well-drained soil that retains steady moisture without becoming waterlogged. Incorporate mature compost or fully decomposed manure before sowing. Avoid compacted surfaces that slow emergence and hold water. In containers, use a clean, airy vegetable mix and verify that every drainage hole remains open. Renew part of the medium between crops if its structure has collapsed or roots fill the planter.
Fertilization
Before sowing, incorporate mature compost or thoroughly decomposed manure into rich, drained soil. W.H. Perron notes that a fertilizer higher in nitrogen can benefit lettuce. Apply only according to label directions or a soil test to avoid excess. After cutting, light feeding may support regrowth if foliage pales or slows while temperatures remain suitable. Water after application so nutrients reach the active root zone. Stop feeding if growth becomes soft, weak, or unbalanced, and never allow concentrated fertilizer to touch emerging seedlings or leaves intended for harvest.
Moisture
Constant moisture without standing water

Companion plants
W.H. Perron recommends beet, cabbage, pea, radish, and strawberry as companion plants. Position them without fully shading mesclun or competing with its shallow roots. Radish and pea can share a spring succession, while strawberries provide light edge shade. Preserve enough space for watering, cutting leaves, and maintaining good airflow. Observe moisture, density, and tenderness regularly so care can be adjusted. Record sowing and cutting dates to maintain a regular succession. Use clean tools and refrigerate washed, thoroughly drained leaves promptly.
Frequently asked questions
Your questions,answered.
When and how should organic mesclun be sown?
Direct sow when soil can be worked in spring, or start indoors approximately four weeks before transplanting. W.H. Perron places outdoor sowing 7 to 10 days after the last ground frost. Bury seed approximately 5 mm deep in rich, well-drained soil. A temperature of 10 to 15°C supports faster, more uniform germination. Distribute seed densely enough for baby leaves without creating a compact layer that blocks airflow. Keep the surface consistently moist but never waterlogged. Provide full sun during cool spring weather; during warmer periods, light shade helps delay bolting and bitterness. Label every sowing date so harvest timing and successive batches remain easy to manage.
How many seeds are in the packet, and are they organic or treated?
W.H. Perron packet 65-5601-01B contains approximately 600 organic seeds. It is a mixture of leaf lettuces and chicories intended for harvest at the baby-leaf stage. W.H. Perron identifies the formulation as organic and states no coating or other treatment, so the seed is described as organic and bare without inventing an unlisted treatment. The product is not identified as a hybrid. Store the closed packet in a cool, dry, dark location. Because several types make up the mixture, garden-saved seed may produce individual plants, but it will not guarantee exactly the same proportions, colours, or maturity pattern in a future blend.
How should Organic Lettuce and Radicchio Mesclun Mix be watered?
Before watering Organic Lettuce and Radicchio Mesclun Mix, check the growing medium and foliage so frequency reflects current conditions. Organic Lettuce and Radicchio Mesclun Mix is a garden vegetables variety offered as seed for gardeners who want clear, practical product information. Confirmed details include maturity:, height: 90 to 130 cm (36 to 52 in), spread: 90 to 130 cm (36 to 52 in), colour:. Récoltées jeunes, les feuilles sont. The packet contains approximately 600 seeds, and the formulation is organic seeds, treated seeds, coated seeds, mix. For best results, follow the sowing, light, and spacing information associated with this variety.
When should mesclun be harvested, and can it regrow after cutting?
Official maturity is approximately 28 days after sowing, but harvesting can begin once seedlings are a few centimetres tall and leaves reach the preferred size. Harvest early in the morning with clean scissors. Cut above the growing point instead of at soil level; Norseco and W.H. Perron state that multiple harvests are possible. Leave the base and small leaves intact, water gently after cutting, and monitor regrowth. The speed and number of later cuttings vary with temperature, moisture, and plant health. Remove plants that have bolted or developed tough, bitter leaves, then start another small sowing to maintain a regular supply rather than depending indefinitely on one planting.
How should mesclun baby leaves be washed, stored, and served?
Harvest only healthy leaves that have not been contaminated by pets, fresh manure, or questionable water. Use clean scissors and a clean container. Sort the mesclun, remove damaged leaves, then rinse it thoroughly in potable water and drain without crushing it. Dry leaves in a salad spinner or with a clean cloth, place them in a clean container, and refrigerate promptly. Serve bare in salads, sandwiches, bowls, or garnishes, adding dressing immediately before eating to preserve crispness. Do not consume a batch that has become slimy, severely wilted, or unusually odorous; discard it instead of trying to recover it. Keep harvested leaves cold until serving.
Wildlife and pets

Supporting wildlife
This crop is harvested before flowering, so it is not grown primarily to attract pollinators. Baby leaves may nevertheless attract slugs, snails, and small mammals. Inspect beneath foliage regularly, use suitable physical barriers, and keep pets away from food crops to reduce damage and contamination.
