Product Description

Lettuce Lollo Rossa is the red counterpart to the well-loved Lollo Bionda, offering the same beautifully frilled, deeply cut leaf structure but with a bold red colouring that adds visual appeal to any salad bowl. Each plant forms a tight, compact rosette of tender leaves, making it an outstanding choice for both kitchen gardens and decorative vegetable beds.

This Italian-style loose-leaf lettuce is fast-growing and highly versatile. It performs exceptionally well in containers, window boxes, raised beds and traditional plots, giving you the flexibility to grow fresh salad ingredients even in small outdoor spaces. As a cut-and-come-again variety, Lollo Rossa provides repeated harvests throughout the season – simply pick the outer leaves and allow the centre to regrow.

With its crisp texture, mild flavour and rich colouring, Lollo Rossa is ideal for salads, sandwiches and garnishes. Easy to cultivate and productive from spring to autumn, it’s a must-have for anyone who enjoys growing their own fresh greens.
