A new lettuce variety for any kitchen garden, combining visual appeal, delicious flavour, and ease of growth. This oakleaf lettuce stands out with uniquely shaped leaves that add both taste and texture to meals. Whether you’re crafting a gourmet salad, adding crunch to wraps, or layering sandwiches, 'Oakland' is a versatile ingredient you’ll love to grow.

One of the standout features of 'Oakland' is its adaptability. This compact plant grows beautifully in raised beds, garden borders, or deep containers on patios, making it a fantastic choice for gardeners with limited space.

If you’re new to gardening, you’ll appreciate how resilient and easy this variety is to grow. It’s resistant to common pests and diseases, so your plants stay healthy with minimal intervention. With a quick growth habit, 'Oakland' offers the added bonus of multiple harvests - simply pick the outer leaves as needed or cut them at the base and let the plant regrow for another round of fresh greens.

Enjoy free delivery on these plug plants! Please note: If you add other items to your order then this may include a postage surcharge.

Supplied as 12 strong plug plants, Lettuce 'Oakland' gives you a head start on the growing season.

Top Tips
  • Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Lettuce needs regular watering to prevent bolting and bitterness.
  • Care Information
    • Use fertile, well-draining soil enriched with organic matter, such as compost or well-rotted manure.
    • Before planting outdoors, acclimatise your plug plants by placing them outside during the day for 5 - 7 days. This helps reduce transplant shock.
    • Space plants 20cm apart in rows, with rows spaced 25–30cm apart.
    • Ensure the root ball is fully covered with soil, but avoid burying the crown of the plant.
    • Water thoroughly after planting to settle the soil around the roots.
    • To grow in a pot, choose a container at least 20cm deep with drainage holes. Use a high-quality potting mix and follow the same planting and spacing guidelines.

    Aftercare:

    • Apply a balanced, water-soluble fertiliser every 2 - 3 weeks to support rapid growth.
    • Keep the area around the plants weed-free to reduce competition for nutrients and water.
    • During peak summer, provide light shade to protect plants from excessive heat, which can cause bolting.

    Harvesting:

    • Baby Leaves: Start harvesting outer leaves 3–4 weeks after planting for tender baby greens.
    • Mature Heads: Harvest full-sized plants 6–8 weeks after planting, or cut individual leaves as needed.
