Lettuce - Salad Bowl (Green) (1,000 Seeds)

The Ultimate 'Pick-and-Come-Again' Variety – Never-Ending Harvests of Tender Leaves.

Salad Bowl is the gold standard for loose-leaf, non-heading lettuce. Unlike traditional hearting lettuces, this variety produces large, attractive rosettes of deeply lobed, lime-green leaves that resemble oak leaves. It is specifically designed for the "cut-and-come-again" method, allowing you to harvest individual leaves as needed while the plant continues to grow.

Each pack contains approximately 1,000 seeds, providing an incredible wealth of fresh salad greens throughout the season. Salad Bowl is famously slow to bolt and does not turn bitter even in the heat of summer, making it one of the most reliable and long-standing varieties for the British garden. Its decorative, frilly appearance also makes it a beautiful addition to ornamental borders or patio containers.

Tender, Decorative, and Bitter-Free – The Perfect Homegrown Salad Leaf.

• Continuous Harvesting: Simply snip a few leaves from the outside of the plant and watch it regrow for weeks of fresh harvests.

• Large, Frilly Rosettes: Features beautiful, deeply indented lime-green leaves that add volume and texture to any salad bowl.

• Excellent Heat Tolerance: One of the best varieties for summer growing, as it is exceptionally slow to bolt (go to seed) and retains its sweet flavour.

• Space Efficient: Ideal for filling gaps in the veg patch, growing in window boxes, or mixed into decorative flower containers.

Gardener’s Tip: To keep the leaves at their most tender and succulent, ensure the plants are kept well-watered during dry spells. Because this variety doesn't form a hard heart, it is less prone to soil-borne pests.
