Lettuce All Year Round is a butterhead lettuce with lovely compact crisp hearts.
As the name suggests, it can be sown all year round - Autumn sown ones will need to be sown under cover but will be ready to harvest in the spring. Can be sown March-August and excellent for successional sowing and it is slow to bolt.
Home-grown lettuces lose none of their freshness and crispness and are at their best when used straight from the garden. There is no better or fresher way.
