Lollo Rossa Lettuce
One of the most loved and eye-catching varieties, Lollo Rossa stands out for its open head with frilly-edged leaves, in an intense reddish-purple colour that makes it a star of any salad.
The Lollo Rossa Lettuce Plant
It belongs to the species Lactuca sativa var. crispa, family Asteraceae. It forms an open head with tightly curled leaves, intensely reddish-purple across the whole leaf blade.
How to Sow Lollo Rossa Lettuce
Sow from February to April under protection and from May directly outdoors, lightly covering the seeds with soil and keeping a spacing of 25x30 cm between plants.
How to Grow Lollo Rossa Lettuce
It prefers loose, well-drained soil rich in humus and lime, in a sunny spot with medium exposure and constant watering to prevent the soil from drying out too much.
Tips for Lollo Rossa Lettuce
Correct watering is essential: the soil should stay constantly moist but not waterlogged, to avoid root rot; it is grown from spring to autumn.
Diseases and Pests of Lollo Rossa Lettuce
It can be affected by downy mildew and grey mould in overly humid conditions; aphids and slugs are the most common pests to monitor.
Uses and Curiosities of Lollo Rossa Lettuce
Besides salads, it also works well in risotto and savoury pies; its intense red colour sets it apart from Lollo Bionda, which is dark green, both belonging to the crispa type.
Properties of Lollo Rossa Lettuce
Rich in vitamins A, B9, C and K, minerals such as potassium, calcium, magnesium and phosphorus, and trace elements like iron, zinc and manganese; its red colouring adds antioxidant anthocyanins.

Per 100 grams, Lollo Rossa lettuce provides about 16 kcal, 1.3 g protein, 2.3 g carbohydrates, 0.2 g fat and 1.5 g fibre. Good source of vitamin A, C and potassium.
