Lettuce Seeds – Non-GMO Heirloom

The crisp salad green worth a spot in your garden

Lettuce (Lactuca sativa) is the cool-season salad staple grown in home gardens everywhere for its crisp, tender, mild-flavored leaves. From upright romaine and dense iceberg heads to soft butterhead and frilly loose-leaf types, there is a lettuce for every salad bowl and every season. It grows fast, takes up little space, and rewards you with fresh, homegrown greens far sweeter and crunchier than anything from a bag. A few short rows or a single planter can keep a kitchen in salad for weeks.

How to grow lettuce from seed

Lettuce is one of the easiest crops to start from seed. Sow lettuce seeds just a quarter inch deep in cool, moist soil in early spring or late summer, in full sun to part shade, and keep the surface damp until the seedlings emerge. Thin leaf types to a few inches apart and heading types to about 10 to 12 inches. Most leaf lettuce is ready to pick in 30 to 45 days, while heads take 55 to 70 days. Sow small batches every couple of weeks for a steady, non-stop harvest. For the full step-by-step, see our complete guide to growing lettuce from seed.

How to use lettuce

Lettuce is the heart of the salad bowl, but it does far more than that. Toss crisp romaine into a classic Caesar, layer butterhead into sandwiches and wraps, or use sturdy leaves as low-carb lettuce cups for tacos and stir-fries. Loose-leaf types make a tender base for grain bowls, and the outer leaves even braise or grill beautifully. Harvest in the cool of the morning for the crunchiest, sweetest leaves.
