    There has never been an easier way to sow and grow lettuce than with our Sow Effortless Collection™ seed tapes, and Sylvesta is the lettuce you will want to savor—every last leaf and head. This butterhead (Boston) variety from Germany is renowned for its disease and bolt resistance, its crisper bite, and its delicious flavor. Get your garden beds and containers ready now.

    Sylvesta sets big, heavy heads, tightly packed with pale green leaves boasting a soft cream center. Less leathery and chewy than most others, they have a crisper texture that keeps them fresher longer—and the taste is far more succulent than others. It's a favorite of ours, and we think you will love it, too.

    To use these Sow Effortless Collection™ seed tapes with your Sylvesta lettuce seeds, simply lay the strips of paper (already embedded with seeds) down on top of smooth soil in full sun to light shade (or containers, of course) and trim the tape to your desired length. Then rake or sprinkle about a half inch of soil on top of the tapes and water them in well. That's it—in a few weeks you'll see evenly-spaced, healthy green shoots that need no thinning.

    With the Sow Effortless Collection™ Sylvesta Lettuce Seed Tape, you will have a planting that looks like it was designed and grown by a professional—in less time then it would take you to make all the holes in the soil, let alone drop the seeds in, cover them up, and then thin the seedlings a few weeks later. You will love the vigor and flavor of Sylvesta, ready in under 2 months and so yummy. For best harvest, succession sow every two weeks all season.

    Includes: 5 meters (16 ft. 4.85 in.) of seed tape
