Flammes Red Butterhead Lettuce
A highly productive butterhead lettuce variety, Flammes stands out for its shaded colouring from green to deep red, with compact, wavy, frilled leaves as its "flame-like" name suggests.
The Flammes Red Butterhead Lettuce Plant
It belongs to the species Lactuca sativa var. capitata, family Asteraceae. It forms a compact head with wavy, frilled-edged leaves shaded from green to intense red.
How to Sow Flammes Red Butterhead Lettuce
Sow from March to August in a seedbed or directly in the field, transplanting seedlings once they reach 4-5 true leaves.
How to Grow Flammes Red Butterhead Lettuce
It prefers cool, well-drained soils rich in organic matter; thanks to its vigour it adapts well to both spring and autumn cultivation.
Tips for Flammes Red Butterhead Lettuce
Harvest once the head has reached proper compactness, about 60-70 days after sowing; regular watering keeps the leaves crisp.
Diseases and Pests of Flammes Red Butterhead Lettuce
It can be affected by downy mildew (Bremia) and grey mould in humid conditions; aphids and slugs are the most common pests to monitor.
Uses and Curiosities of Flammes Red Butterhead Lettuce
The colour contrast between green and red shades makes it particularly striking in mixed salads; the compact, wavy leaves offer a crisp texture prized when eaten raw.
Properties of Flammes Red Butterhead Lettuce
Its reddish colouring comes from anthocyanins, antioxidant pigments that add to the vitamin A and beta-carotene content typical of dark lettuces.
Nutritional Values of Flammes Red Butterhead Lettuce
Per 100 grams, Flammes red butterhead 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 and potassium.
