When I was young the typical salad consisted primarily of Cos or Iceberg lettuce, gradually other varieties such as little gem appeared, however in the last 10 years there has been a huge proliferation of salad leaves in the supermarkets, no longer do you have to rely on the traditional for your salads, however it is at a price. At Gardeningforall we have a wide range of different types and coloured lettuce in seed form, as well as the more unusual leaves such as endive, escarole, mizuna, watercress and dandelion to name a few, the list is almost endless, which can be raised inexpensively from seed. You will find some of the lesser used salad leaves, such as radicchio and chicory in other categories, so don't forget to use the search button.
