This helps the heart form properly and prevents rot. Avoid sowing in the extreme heat of July and August, as the seeds may go dormant.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Puzzle Seed Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53745634148685,"sku":"28362296197944","price":1.07,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0828\/6961\/6973\/files\/Saladin.png?v=1776546130","url":"https:\/\/thefoalyard.co.uk\/products\/lettuce-seeds-saladin-the-classic-crunchy-iceberg-1-200-seeds","provider":"The Foalyard","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
