Planting & Care

Sow Bibb lettuce seeds directly in the garden as soon as the soil can be worked in spring, or start indoors 4-6 weeks before the last frost. Plant seeds about 1/4 inch deep and keep the soil consistently moist until germination. Thin seedlings to the recommended spacing to allow heads to develop properly.

Provide regular watering and mulch to keep the soil cool and moist. Bibb lettuce prefers cooler temperatures and may bolt in hot weather; provide afternoon shade in warmer climates. Harvest leaves as needed or cut entire heads when mature.
