Lettuce (Butterhead) Hilde II Seeds Unwins Sowing Time and Spacing

 

Leaf iconSowing Time

Indoors: March - April for outdoor planting

August - September for winter greenhouse planting

Outdoors: April - August

Leaf iconSowing Indoors

Almost fill a seed tray with moist seed compost. Sow seeds thinly over the surface and light cover them with a little more compost. Place in the warmth 10-15 degrees Celsuis (50-60 Fahrenheit) and keep moist. When large enough to handle transplant seedlings 5cm (2in) apart to trays of compost. Gradualy accustom them to conditions outside for 2-3 weeks before planting out to their cropping positions 25cm (10in) apart from late spring onwards. Water plants generously in dry weather.

Leaf iconSowing Outdoors

Sow seeds thinly in a shallow, pre-watered row. Lightly cover with a little soil. Keep soil moist as dry conditions impair germination. Allow 30cm (12in) between rows. Thin seedlings to about 25cm (10in) apart when large enough to handle. Ensure remaining seedlings are still form in the soil.
