Lettuce Plants
Growing lettuce plants is quick and easy, giving you a constant supply of crunchy leaves which can be cut again and again from the growing plant whenever you need them - you don’t get fresher than that. Our salad plants come direct to you from a family run farm in sunny Lancashire, sustainably grown and pesticide free, with only the tastiest varieties making the cut. No more forgotten bag of decomposing salad in the bottom of the fridge for you!
Which lettuce should I choose?
Growing your own gives you a better choice of lettuce varieties (and not an iceberg in sight…). Green Salad Bowl is an RHS award winner with fantastic productivity. Little Gem is the earliest to mature and has juicy, crunchy leaves. It contrasts beautifully with the vivid colours of Red Salad Bowl or frilly Lollo Rosso. For growing lettuce in smaller spaces, we recommend a more compact variety such as Little Gem. For summer planting we love baby leaf varieties, as they look so fresh and appetising on the table. You can also grow lettuce through the winter - check that the variety you choose is suitable and enjoy!
Growers' tips
Lettuce plants can be grown in raised beds and borders, in pots on the patio or even on the kitchen windowsill. If you have a greenhouse, you can extend the growing season, but any sheltered spot is fine. Water well, protect them from marauding slugs and position your lettuce plants in partial shade, as too much heat may make them bolt and produce flowers rather than leaves.

Using your lettuce
Say goodbye to tasteless lettuce that stays in the background, and bring these tasty leaves centre stage. Try a Waldorf salad with walnuts, apple and celery, enjoy low carb lettuce cups with courgettes and aubergines or go all Michelin star and char your lettuce wedges. As well as being the perfect finishing touch for sandwiches, burgers and tacos, these lettuces are good enough to eat with just a drizzle of dressing.
