Three lettuces that thrive in all-seasons and a beautiful edible flower that glows, especially in Winter, like summer sunshine.

The seed collection offers 1 packet of each of the following:

• 'Winter Density' Gem

• 'Pandero' Gem

• 'Sweetheart' Gem

• 'Ivory Princess' Calendula

The collection can be gift packaged and offers almost 20% savings on individual packet price.

We did extensive trialing over the 2020-2021 season and these lettuce varieties were successful in the ALL of the following harvest windows:
Early Spring Sown/Early Summer Harvest
Late Spring Sown/ Summer Harvest
Early Summer Sown/ Late Summer Harvest
Late Summer Sown/Autumn Harvest
Autumn sown/Winter Harvest (needs protection from frost)
Winter Sown/Spring Harvest (needs protection from frost)

Gem lettuce are remarkable in that they thrive in both cold season/short daylight and hot season/long daylight- although the days from transplant to maturity are different in the various harvest windows- IE do not expect a late Autumn sown gem lettuce to be ready for harvest in 35 days.

The lettuces also have a similar growth habit and life size as well - the packets can be mixed and sown as a cut and come again lettuce mix. Cut with scissors at the perfect fork size and add some calendula petals.
