Leaf lettuce 'Silvia'

Silvia likes a position of partial sun and remember to water often. Keep in mind when planting that Silvia is thought of as tender, so remember to wait until your soil is warm and the night time temperature is well above freezing before moving outside. Try to keep the ph of your soil between the range of 6.2 and 6.8 as Silvia likes to be in weakly acidic soil.

Try to aim for a seed spacing of at least 5.85 inches (15.0 cm) and sow at a depth of around 0.49 inches (1.25 cm). Soil temperature should be kept higher than 5°C / 41°F to ensure good germination.

By our calculations, you should look at sowing Silvia about 60 days before your last frost date.

Ensure that temperatures are mild and all chance of frost has passed before planting out, as Silvia is a tender plant.
