Heirloom Seeds - Lettuce 'Mignonette Bronze'

A soft, sweet, butterhead lettuce that provides a densely bunch abundance of green and bronze hued leaves. Although a heading type of lettuce, we find it best to pick leaf by leaf, which will prevent the plants from bolting to seed.

Soil  Prepare with compost and well-rotted manure and allow the soil to settle for 1 -2 weeks before planting. Fresh manure has a tendency to burn younger lettuce seedlings, so incorporating a green manure in your soil as part of the preparation is also ideal.
