Grow Lettuce Classio – A High-Yielding Red Multileaf for Crisp, Colourful Salads

Lettuce Classio is a brand-new variety to Grown Local, offering an exceptionally high yield with vibrant red, spiky leaves that add colour and texture to homegrown salads. A coral-type multileaf lettuce, Classio produces an abundance of uniform, glossy leaves with a crisp bite. It is known for its strong growth, good density, and resilience, making it a great choice for gardeners looking for a reliable, easy-to-grow variety. This variety has reasonable bolting tolerance, ensuring a steady supply of fresh leaves for longer. Whether grown for full heads or harvested young for baby leaves, Lettuce Classio offers versatility, flavour, and fantastic visual appeal.

Growing Lettuce Classio

Lettuce Classio is ideal for home gardeners as it can be grown in raised beds, containers, or open ground. For the longest harvest period, sow successionally every few weeks.

Sowing and Planting

  • Sowing Period: Sow under cover or outdoors from March to July.
  • Seed Depth: Scatter seeds on moist compost and lightly cover with soil.
  • Spacing: Space rows 30–40 cm apart to allow airflow and healthy growth.

Care and Maintenance

  • Watering: Keep the soil evenly moist to prevent the plants from bolting.
  • Thinning: As plants grow, use young leaves as baby leaf lettuce to encourage stronger growth.
  • Succession Planting: Re-sow every 2–3 weeks for a continuous supply of fresh leaves.

Harvesting

  • Pick outer leaves as needed to encourage regrowth.
  • For full heads, harvest when the plant reaches maturity while leaves are crisp and fresh.
  • Regular harvesting promotes better yields and extended cropping.

Why Grow Lettuce Classio?

Lettuce Classio is a fantastic choice for gardeners who love fresh, homegrown salads. Its bold red colouring, high yield, and crisp texture make it a standout variety. The strong, slightly spiky leaves add interest to salad bowls, while its reasonable bolting resistance ensures a long harvesting period.

Culinary Uses

With its attractive colour and crisp bite, Lettuce Classio is perfect for:

  • Fresh salads – Adds a vibrant pop of colour
  • Sandwiches and wraps – A great alternative to traditional lettuce
