Lettuce 'Mignonette Bronze' Heirloom Seeds

Lettuce 'Mignonette Bronze' Heirloom Seeds Discover the delicate charm of this classic butterhead lettuce, celebrated for its tender leaves in soft green and rich bronze tones. Rather than waiting for a full head to form, we recommend harvesting leaf by leaf—this gentle approach keeps your plants thriving and delays bolting, giving you an extended harvest season. **Growing Success Starts with Soil** Prepare your bed generously with compost and well-rotted manure, then let it settle for 1-2 weeks before planting. Avoid fresh manure, which can stress young seedlings; a green manure incorporation works beautifully as an alternative. Aim for a soil pH between 6.5-7.5 for optimal growth. **Planting Made Simple** Sow seeds directly into your veggie patch or start in punnets for transplanting. Surface sow at a depth of just 0.5-1cm, and protect from hungry birds. Space plants 15-20cm apart in full sun, though they'll tolerate partial shade. **Perfect Companions** Plant alongside radish, beans, and carrots to create a thriving garden community. Each packet contains approximately 200 seeds, giving you plenty of opportunities to enjoy this heirloom favourite throughout the season.
