Nikolaj leaf lettuce is an early-maturing type of Lollo Rossa with a vegetative period from emergence to harvest, lasting 60-70 days. This variety is characterized by forming a rosette of decorative, ruffled leaves with a vibrant red color, giving the lettuce an attractive appearance and making it an excellent choice for garnishing dishes. The lettuce is suitable for cultivation in open ground during early spring, summer, and autumn periods, offering flexibility in agronomy and enabling multiple harvests per year.
One of the key features of the Nikolay variety is its resistance to bolting, which significantly extends the harvest period and improves leaf quality. Harvesting can be done gradually by cutting individual leaves or entirely, which is convenient for different culinary uses. The recommended spacing between plants is 30 centimeters, ensuring optimal growth conditions.
Nikolay lettuce seeds are produced by Moravoseed in Czechia and supplied in 1-gram packages containing 600 to 1000 seeds. This variety is known for its stable germination and is suitable for mid-early cultivation in open ground. Thanks to its decorative qualities and resistance to adverse conditions, Nikolay lettuce is an excellent choice for gardeners and farmers aiming to obtain high-quality and visually appealing harvests.
