Lettuce Seeds - Analena - Exhibition Quality Butterhead (300 Seeds)

The Exhibition Standard – Voluminous, Vibrant, and Exceptionally Slow to Bolt.

Analena is an outstanding butterhead variety that has quickly become a favourite for both the kitchen garden and the exhibition bench. Categorised as an "Exhibition" variety, it produces impressively large, voluminous heads with a stunningly fresh, bright green colour. Its flavour is classic butterhead—mild, sweet, and with a soft, buttery texture that melts in the mouth.

Each pack contains approximately 300 seeds. What truly sets Analena apart is its incredible standing ability; it can remain in the garden for a long period without bolting or becoming bitter, even as temperatures rise. This makes it one of the most reliable and "impressive" varieties for summer harvesting, ensuring you get high-quality, shop-bought-perfection lettuce right from your own soil.
