Alkindus Pelleted Organic butterhead lettuce seeds are CERTIFIED ORGANIC! An improved Roxy type with substantial heads which grow up to 25cm (10") across. The butterhead has good wrapping leaves that are slightly savoyed around a flavourful, beautiful delicate head. You will find outstanding resistance to mildew and aphids. You will also find Alkindus very slow to bolt. We found our lettuce seeds stood in the field trials into mid-August before any sign of bolting. Seeds are pelleted for easy planting.

| Starting |
Direct sow or start indoors and transplant. Sow seeds 5mm (¼”) deep, or on the surface of the soil where the soil can be kept evenly moist.. Space or thin heading lettuce to 30cm (12″) apart. Space or thin looseleaf varieties to 20-25cm (8-10″) apart. Space rows for all types 45-90cm (18-36″) apart. Babyleaf lettuce can be planted quite densely, as it is harvested at an immature size. Sowing babyleaf lettuce seeds closely together in narrow rows makes harvesting simpler. |
| Growing |
Ideal pH: 6.0-6.5. Aim for a soil with ample drainage and lots of organic matter. Add compost and lime at least 3 weeks prior to planting. One cup of balanced organic fertilizer per 3m (10′) of row will give adequate nutrition. Seedlings should be hardened off by reducing water and putting the plants outdoors 2 or 3 days before transplanting. This will help to prevent transplant shock and premature bolting. Regular watering is essential to prevent leaves from developing a bitter taste. |
