Features and Benefits

• Boston Green variety known for its round and compact head, easy to trim and harvest.

• Rapid formation of a firm head after sowing, suitable for pot or garden cultivation.
• Good tolerance to cool climates, perfect for spring and late summer harvests.

Cultivation Tips

Direct sow in the ground or in pots, at a depth of 0.5 cm. Space plants about 25 to 30 cm apart to allow leaves to develop without hindering head formation. In hot climates, prefer sowing periods in late winter or early autumn for a gentle harvest and to avoid long periods of heat that could increase bitterness.

Typical germination in 7 to 14 days at a temperature around 15–20 °C. Keep the soil cool and rich in organic matter, water regularly without letting water stagnate, and mulch lightly to preserve seed moisture. Thinning is necessary to allow young plants to breathe and promote a well-formed head.

Harvest and Uses

Harvest when the head is firm and well-formed. Cut at the base to preserve the leaves and encourage potential regrowth if conditions allow. This lettuce is particularly suitable for crisp salads, sandwiches, and quick daily meals. To vary textures, combine it with other lettuce or endive varieties during successive sowings to obtain staggered harvests.

Ideal for whom and how to enjoy

• Perfect for urban gardeners and balconies thanks to its tolerance to container gardening.
• Ideal for beginners looking for a reliable variety with a gentle learning curve.
• Good option for reseeding every 1 to 2 weeks to enjoy a continuous harvest during cool periods.
