About

Also known as Chinese Lettuce both stem and leaves are edible. A delicious and versatile vegetable popular in Asian style recipes. The stem is crunchy with a nutty flavour. Treat Celtuce as you would a lettuce growing it either under cover or outside. Harvest stems at around 15-20 cm high and a diameter of 3-4 cm. Celtuce seed does not germinate in high temperatures so with summer sowing keep very well watered. (Approximate seed count - 300)
