Key Features

Why This Lettuce Stands Out

This variety stands out for its ability to offer a quick harvest without compromising leaf density. Its curly leaves add volume and character to your salads while remaining tender and easy to eat. Thanks to its compact growth, it is particularly suitable for urban gardens and successive plantings, allowing for spaced harvests and regular production over a season.

Uses and Scenarios

• Fresh and crisp salads: mix Early Curled Simpson leaves with raw vegetables, herbs, and a light vinaigrette.
• Sandwiches and wraps: delicate leaves that fold beautifully around your fillings without crumbling.
• Quick dishes: perfect for crudités platters and bowls; adds color and texture.
• Responsible gardening: ideal for regular sowings every 1 to 2 weeks, to enjoy a continuous harvest.

Cultivation Tips and Care

• Sowing: plant seeds shallowly, then cover lightly with potting mix. For a quick harvest, prefer sowing at the end of a cool month.
• Depth and spacing: space plants approximately 20 to 25 cm (8 to 10 inches) apart to allow for optimal leaf development.
• Exposure: moderate to partial sunlight to prevent bitterness and promote uniform growth.
• Watering: keep the soil cool and moist without saturating; prefer regular watering to prevent leaves from drying out.
• Thinning and maintenance: thin if necessary to give young plants space and encourage uniform growth.

Harvest and Storage

Harvest leaves when they are large enough for your needs; cutting cleanly at the base allows for continuous regrowth for some varieties, extending the harvest period. Store unused leaves in the refrigerator in the vegetable compartment, ideally in packaging or a container that prevents excessive humidity. For optimal freshness, consume within a week of harvest.

Who Is This Perfect For

This Early Curled Simpson lettuce is particularly suitable for beginners and experienced gardeners alike looking for a reliable and visually attractive variety. It is suitable for home cultivation on balconies as well as small vegetable gardens, offering a quick and gourmet solution for regular harvests and appetizing dishes.
