Lettuce Amaze is an improved red gem lettuce with sparkling red and green tender leafs. Amaze produces a really good crop in just a few weeks which is why it is named as it is. Suitable for growing in a vegetable patch or in containers.

The uniform, maroon red leaves have a soft buttery texture and a good lettuce taste. Amaze shows resistance to mildew which means that even in sporadic damp or dry conditions (which can be the case in many a British summer) your lettuce will put up a good fight against troublesome mildew.

With Royal Horticultural Society Award of Garden Merit you can be sure of a lettuce that performs well as a home grown variety. We recommend you plant around 20-30cm (10-12in) apart to give you appropriate space for the heads to develop.

How To Grow

Lettuce is a fast-growing, easy crop that thrives in beds, borders, and containers. With many varieties to choose from, you can enjoy crisp, fresh leaves for months. Sow seeds little and often for a continuous harvest, keeping soil moist to prevent bolting. Pick leaves as needed or harvest whole heads for delicious homegrown salads.


Indoor Sowing
Fill modular trays with quality seed compost and sow one seed per module. Keep compost moist using capillary matting or gentle watering. Place trays in a bright, warm spot, avoiding direct sun. Once seedlings show true leaves or fill the modules, they’re ready to harden off.


Planting Out
Harden off seedlings over 7–14 days, then transplant into pots, beds, or borders. Allow 30cm between plants to give space for heads to form.


Outdoor Sowing
Direct sow from March to July, 1cm deep in rows 30cm apart. Thin seedlings to 30cm, using the thinnings in salads.


Companion Planting
Grow lettuce with chives or spring onions to deter aphids, or marigolds to discourage slugs. Plant under taller crops like tomatoes for dappled shade that keeps leaves crisp.


Harvesting
For the freshest flavour, harvest in the morning when leaves are cool and hydrated.
