Lettuce Iceberg Seeds

Grow classic salad crunch with iceberg lettuce seeds from David's Garden Seeds®. This collection features Crispino, an iceberg selection for gardeners who enjoy crisphead lettuce. Its refreshing texture and mild flavor make harvested heads a useful partner for bold dressings, sandwich fillings and fresh garden vegetables.

Why Grow Iceberg Lettuce?

• Crisp texture: Enjoy the crunch of layered leaves in fresh meals.
• Mild flavor: Pair harvested lettuce with stronger-tasting toppings and dressings.
• Head-style harvest: Grow toward formed heads rather than expecting the same picking pattern as loose leaf lettuce.
• Kitchen versatility: Use suitable leaves and heads for wedge salads, sandwiches and chopped salads.

Plan for Cool-Season Growing

Lettuce generally grows best in cool conditions. Choose a local planting window that allows enough suitable weather for head development. Heat can reduce germination, encourage bolting and affect flavor or head quality. A variety's tolerance traits do not guarantee firm heads in every climate.

Planting Tips for Success

• Follow Crispino's guidance: Check the product listing for sowing method, maturity and transplanting instructions.
• Sow shallowly: Use fine seed-starting mix or prepared soil and follow the recommended depth.
• Maintain germination moisture: Keep the seedbed evenly moist without waterlogging or letting the surface dry repeatedly.
• Give heads room: Thin or transplant at the recommended spacing so plants can develop without crowding.
• Choose suitable light and drainage: Use fertile, well-drained soil and a location suited to the growing season.
• Water evenly: Avoid repeated wilting and inconsistent moisture during development.
• Feed thoughtfully: Follow soil-test and fertilizer-label guidance rather than excessive feeding.
• Stagger planting: Where the cool-season window allows, sow small batches to spread out harvests.

Harvest at the Right Stage

Check heads as they approach the variety's recommended maturity. Harvest when suitably formed and firm, before bolting or declining quality. Cut carefully with a clean tool and remove damaged outer leaves. Wash harvested lettuce appropriately for its intended use, cool promptly and refrigerate. A harvested full head should not be treated as a guarantee of repeated full-head crops from the same plant.

Ways to Enjoy Your Harvest

• Wedge salads: Cut a suitable harvested head into wedges and add your favorite toppings.
• Sandwiches and burgers: Add crisp leaves for fresh texture.
• Chopped salads: Combine with tomatoes, cucumbers and other garden vegetables.
• Fresh lettuce cups: Use suitable leaves with cool fillings.

Serving suggestions refer to harvested lettuce, not planting seeds.
