Mr. F LETTUCE Frisee de Beauregard

Lactuca sativa

1000 Seeds

An appealing French heirloom variety loved by generations for its wonderful flavour. This succulent crisp-leaved 'iceberg' type lettuce is also known as 'Ice Queen' and will stay crunchy even on hot days. The medium sized heads are slow to run to seed and have attractively edged leaves.

Outdoors: sow thinly, March-July where they are to crop, 1.5cm (½") deep, directly into finely-prepared, fertile, moisture-retentive soil, which has already been watered. Allow 30cm (1') between rows. Early sowings may benefit from cloche protection. Seedlings usually appear in 7-14 days. Thin out to 20cm (8") apart. Water well until plants are established. Regular sowings, made every two to three weeks, will ensure a continuous supply. Harvest: June-October.

Genus: Lettuce

Botanical Name: Lactuca sativa
