    WEBBS WONDERFUL

    A favourite Iceberg type lettuce that is easy to grow. This crisp and tender lettuce produces large, solid crunchy hearts with a good flavour. Slow to bolt even in hot weather and reliably performs all summer long.

    MARVEL OF FOUR SEASONS

    Long season variety that is a real stunner to add colour to a salad, with its deep red outer leaves and light green heart. It boasts excellent flavour and is well worth a try.
