A dual purpose variety, harvest as seedlings for nutritious micro salad garnish or larger as a baby leaf. Leaves become intense red as they develop. An excellent source of vitamins A, B6, C and K and folate.

WHERE TO SOW For baby leaves sow thinly from April to September, 0.5cm (4") deep in rows 25-30cm (10-12") apart. Sow seed in succession every 2-3 weeks for a continuous supply of fresh baby leaves.
WHAT TO DO NEXT Keep soil moist and cut leaves from each plant leaving some leaves on each so they re-grow. You will often get 3-4 cuttings per plant.
HANDY TIP Early and autumn sowings can be made in containers in a cold glasshouse. For micro salads sow every 7 days all year round in trays under glass or on a windowsill and harvest as seedlings and use as a garnish.
