Letttuce Kriska is an open habit but compact lollo bionda variety with light green crisp, crunchy leaves with frilled edges.

We found it an excellent variety that is easy to grow, very slow to bolt and so a prolific producer of fresh lettuce leaves over a long time. The crisp leaves can be picked a few at a time and left to re-grow or the whole head can be harvested in one.

It can be sown in spring, summer and autumn. Autumn sowings will need the protection of a greenhouse but it should keep through the winter and be ready for picking early in the spring.

Lettuce Kriska is an easy to grow variety with lovely crisp leaves that makes an excellent salad. What could be better than picking a few fresh, crunchy homegrown lettuce leaves as and when required through the growing season. No wet limp lettuce when you grow your own!
