Celtuce

Very unusual plant that can be used in two different ways…
Celtuce is a stem-lettuce with a Chinese origin. It’s an unusual plant that can be used in 2 ways:
The leaves can be picked whilst young and used like a cut-and-come-again lettuce. As the stem elongates, the rosette formation changes to a small tuft of leaves on the top.
The second use is for the stem which has a mild celery-like flavour. Peel off the outer layer and slice thinly. This tastes amazing in salads or can be lightly steamed.
Number of plants: 10
Variety: Celtuce (organic*)
In the kitchen: The leaves can be picked either whilst young or when they have formed a rosette and used in lovely summer salads. The stem can be sliced and either lightly steamed or added raw to your salads for an amazing flavour and texture.
THESE PLANTS WILL BE SHIPPED IN SPRING 2024
Delivery Info: Please see FAQs for up-to-date delivery info.
Planting/Growing Advice: Plant plugs in spring/summer approx 15cm apart in planters, raised beds, pots, containers or grow bags.
When to harvest: Start cutting the salad leaves when the plants reach about 10cm high. Clip the leaves with scissors, and the plants will re-grow and can be trimmed several times.
*Transplants suitable for organic growing.
