What Makes Wild Lettuce a Good Choice?
Wild Lettuce is a low-maintenance biennial that thrives in full sun with well-draining, sandy loam soil. Water regularly during dry spells but allow the soil surface to dry slightly between waterings. Fertilise every 2–3 weeks during the growing season with a nitrogen-rich feed. It tolerates light frost and adapts to a range of soil conditions including poor or rocky ground. Deadhead spent flowers to control self-seeding.
