Description

A must-have lettuce mix for any home gardener who loves fresh, homegrown salads. This vibrant new blend of lettuce leaves offers a beautiful mix of shape, texture, and colour, from crisp greens to rich reds.

Ideal for growing in a variety of settings, 'Buddies' Mix thrives in sunny vegetable patches, raised beds, or even pots and containers. Whether you have a sprawling garden or a small balcony, this mix ensures a steady supply of fresh, nutritious greens.

One of the standout features is a cut-and-come-again growth habit. Harvest the outer leaves as needed, and the plants will continue producing more, giving you weeks of fresh harvests. This versatility makes it an excellent choice for busy gardeners who want maximum results with minimal effort.

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 a set of six plug plants, Lettuce 'Buddies' Mix is quick and easy to grow.

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.
    Delivery Information

    Our experienced team at the nursery will always carefully package and send your plants nursery fresh in the perfect condition to thrive once you receive and plant them. Although most plants are extremely tough and will not be affected by all but the most extreme of weather conditions, we always avoid dispatching the most perishable plants if extreme frosts or heat is forecast. We also avoid dispatching orders over Bank Holiday weekends.

    We send most of our orders via a fully tracked courier service with Yodel. We will send you a tracking link as soon as your order has been dispatched.
