Same easy loose-leaf habit as the green, picked from the outside for months, and the two sown together make a salad bed worth looking at.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSowing\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSow seeds about 3 to 5mm deep, barely covered, as the seed needs light. Germination takes 7 to 14 days and stalls in heat.
