Baby leaf salad seeds are ideal for anyone who wants to harvest fresh, tender salad leaves quickly.

Baby leaf refers to very young leaves harvested from various salad and leafy vegetable species. Many pick and cut lettuces from the species Lactuca sativa are especially suitable, such as Lollo types, oakleaf lettuces or other fast-growing leaf lettuces.
Unlike classic head lettuce, these varieties are sown more densely and harvested when the leaves reach a length of about 8 to 10 cm. This produces tender, aromatic leaves with different colours and shapes.
Many gardeners create their own baby leaf mixture by sowing several varieties next to each other. This produces varied salads with different leaf colours and flavours.
