Lobjoits Green is a Cos lettuce that gives large, very crisp, dark green upright hearts which are self-folding. Suitable for spring and autumn sowing. RHS Award of Garden Merit winner.
Tom says: Quick and easy lettuces are many peoples first veggie crop. Try mixing red and green lettuce leaves to add a note of bitterness to salads, or try slicing up little gem lettuces and sauteing with peas and garlic for an alternative homegrown lunch.
