Hi there, thank you for your question. All the lettuce varieties that we stock will be suitable for summer growing in the tunnel provided they are kept well ventilated and irrigated. I would also suggest that you grow some heads outside as our climate is well suited to lettuce growing. For winter growing, I would go for little gem or loose leaf varieties e.g., catalogna cerbiatta'. I would also look at cold hardy salad crops for winter e.g. corn salad, claytonia or any of the Oriental salads.
