Flammes Red Butterhead Lettuce
Of French origin, Flammes owes its name to the "flame-like" look of its leaves, shading from green to bright red towards the edges, while keeping a light, crisp heart.
The Flammes Red Butterhead Lettuce Plant
It belongs to the species Lactuca sativa var. capitata, family Asteraceae. A semi-compact head with wavy leaves, the inner heart stays light green while the outer leaves turn intense red.
How to Sow Flammes Red Butterhead Lettuce
It can also be sown in late summer, between July and September, for autumn harvests; it is one of the butterhead varieties best suited to completing its cycle before the first cold spells.
How to Grow Flammes Red Butterhead Lettuce
It shows good resistance to the cooler temperatures typical of autumn, still maintaining steady growth; it prefers fertile soils with good organic matter availability.
Tips for Flammes Red Butterhead Lettuce
In autumn sowings the leaves tend to colour more intensely due to cooler temperatures, giving an even more striking result compared to spring sowings.
Diseases and Pests of Flammes Red Butterhead Lettuce
In autumn the risk of grey mould increases due to higher humidity; good air circulation between plants helps prevent rot.
Uses and Curiosities of Flammes Red Butterhead Lettuce
Perfect for adding colour to autumn salads, when typically summer varieties are scarce; it pairs well with walnuts, aged cheeses and seasonal fruit.
Properties of Flammes Red Butterhead Lettuce
Like other red-leaf lettuces, it is rich in anthocyanins and beta-carotene, as well as the vitamins A and C typical of butterhead lettuces.
