Product Description
Mr Fothergill’s Winter Density Lettuce (Lactuca sativa) is a dependable and cold-tolerant cos variety, perfect for extending the salad-growing season. Sown from August through to April, it produces compact, upright heads ready to harvest from March to July.
As a romaine-type lettuce, Winter Density forms crisp, oval hearts with a satisfying crunch and full, fresh flavour. While cos lettuces take slightly longer to mature than butterhead varieties, they reward gardeners with firm, well-shaped heads and excellent texture.
Suitable for garden beds, raised beds and containers, this versatile vegetable seed thrives in well-drained soil and a sunny or lightly shaded position. With approximately 1000 seeds per pack, it’s ideal for succession sowing to ensure a continuous supply of fresh, homegrown lettuce.
