Best described as a Curly Iceberg, Lettuce Frillice is actually a Iceberg Lettuce / Endive cross. This variety is found in the supermarket prepacks, and although has a mild taste, it can also be slightly bitter so we tend to think it is best mixed with other varities as a mixed salad. The plants show good disease resistance.
Has an open growing habit, but well worth it.
Harvesting time will depend on sowing time.
Lettuce need good soil to grow well, ideally the soil should have been well dug the previous autumn incorporating adequate manure as digging. Lettuce plants don’t like full sun but enjoy growing in an area which is slightly shaded and away from full sun.
Seeds can be started indoors or outdoors for a summer crop;
You will need to protect your lettuce seedlings from slugs.
