Specifications of Lettuce Green Seeds
Lettuce Green is a crisp, mild-flavored salad green well-suited to home gardens, prized for its quick growth and versatility in salads, sandwiches, and wraps. A cool-season crop, it grows best in moderate temperatures and can be harvested repeatedly by cutting outer leaves, providing a steady supply of fresh greens through the season.

Fast-growing, ready to harvest within 4-6 weeks
Low-maintenance and beginner-friendly leafy green
Well-suited to grow bags, containers, and small garden beds
Continuous harvest through regular leaf-cutting
Planting and Care for Lettuce
Sowing: Sow seeds ¼ inch deep in well-drained soil or grow bags. Keep soil consistently moist during germination, as seeds are small and shallow-sown.
Growing: Water regularly with light, frequent watering. Provide partial shade in warmer conditions to prevent the plant from bolting (flowering) prematurely.
Harvesting: Begin harvesting outer leaves 30-45 days after sowing, allowing the center to continue producing new growth — this cut-and-come-again method extends the harvest period.
Precautions While Growing Lettuce
Sow within the cool season window, as warm temperatures cause bolting and bitter-tasting leaves
Water consistently, as inconsistent moisture can lead to bitter flavor
Watch for aphids and slugs; use organic pest control methods where needed
Harvest regularly to maintain tender, mild-flavored leaves
Other Names
