Planting & Care

Sow Iceberg Batavian lettuce seeds directly in the garden or start indoors 4-6 weeks before the last frost. Plant seeds 1/4 inch deep and keep the soil consistently moist until germination, which typically occurs in 7-14 days. Thin seedlings to 8-12 inches apart to allow heads to develop properly.

Provide regular watering and mulch to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Lettuce prefers cooler temperatures and may bolt in hot weather; provide afternoon shade in warmer climates. Harvest heads when they are firm and fully formed for the best flavor and texture.
