Winter Density stands out as a robust winter lettuce, showcasing a distinctive texture. This traditional semi-cos variety is well-suited for overwintering and early spring gardens. Extremely user-friendly in cultivation, it offers an excellent flavour and a texture that falls between a butterhead and a romaine lettuce, making it an ideal choice for both novice and seasoned gardeners.
When seeking a top-notch lettuce for overwintering, Winter Density is the perfect choice, thriving in British climates with minimal maintenance requirements. Overwinter outside or under cloches for an early spring crop.
The compact, dark green heads, averaging around 16cm in height, exhibit both heat and cold tolerance, although cooler temperatures are optimal for germination. With a texture reminiscent of Buttercrunch—this lettuce maintains its delectable flavour throughout the season. Its compact heads make it suitable for densely planted gardens, and it proves resilient against various pests and diseases. Winter Density adds delightful taste to salads and sandwiches alike.
Winter Density holds the Royal Horticultural Society’s Award of Garden Merit.
