Lettuce (Imphal) Seeds – Premium Red Oakleaf Lettuce Variety for Outdoor Winter Cultivation

🌿 Product Description

Lettuce (Imphal) is a premium Red Oakleaf Lettuce variety known for its compact growth habit, beautifully lobed deep red leaves, crisp texture, and delicious flavour. This attractive loose-head lettuce forms dense, compact rosettes of tender oakleaf-shaped foliage that offers excellent quality for both home gardeners and commercial growers.

The vibrant red leaves are richly coloured with attractive burgundy tones and a naturally crunchy texture, making them ideal for fresh salads, gourmet dishes, sandwiches, wraps, burgers, and healthy meals. Its compact growth ensures uniform head formation and excellent market presentation, while its sweet, mildly nutty flavour makes it a favourite among chefs and salad enthusiasts.

Lettuce (Imphal) performs exceptionally well in outdoor cultivation, especially during the winter growing season, producing vigorous, healthy plants with high-quality foliage. It thrives at an optimum growing temperature of 20–25°C and prefers fertile, well-drained soil rich in organic matter.

Lettuce seeds require light for successful germination, therefore the seeds should be sown at a depth of 0.5 cm and should not be covered with soil after sowing. Under proper growing conditions, this variety produces uniform plants with excellent freshness, colour, and yield.

Suitable for home gardens, kitchen gardens, commercial vegetable farming, hydroponic systems, greenhouse cultivation, and organic farming, Lettuce (Imphal) combines outstanding appearance, crisp texture, and dependable productivity.
