Iceberg Lettuce Seeds 5g – Crisp, Crunchy Heads for Perfect Salads

Iceberg Lettuce Seeds 5g are the classic choice for gardeners who love the refreshing crunch of a perfect wedge salad or a crisp burger topping. Unlike leafy varieties, the plants grown from our Iceberg Lettuce Seeds 5g packet form tight, dense heads that are packed with water and sweet flavor, staying fresh in the fridge for weeks after harvest.

Why Choose Our Iceberg Lettuce Seeds 5g?

At Future Gardens, we select seeds that are slow to bolt (flower), giving you a longer harvest window even as the weather warms up.

• Adaptability: Selected for heat resistance and disease tolerance.

How to Plant Iceberg Lettuce Seeds 5g

To get those solid heads, spacing is everything. Follow these steps for your Iceberg Lettuce Seeds 5g:

1. Cool Season: Lettuce loves cool weather. Start seeds in early spring or late summer for a fall harvest.

2. Sowing: Sow seeds shallowly (1/8 inch deep) in fine soil. They need a little light to germinate effectively.

3. Spacing (Crucial Step): This is where many fail. Once seedlings are 2 inches tall, you must thin them to stand 10-12 inches apart. If they are too crowded, they will grow leaves but will never form a tight head.

4. Location: Full sun in cool weather, or partial shade if growing in late spring.

Care and Maintenance

• Watering: Lettuce is mostly water! Keep the soil consistently moist. Inconsistent watering leads to bitter leaves.

• Mulching: Apply straw around the base to keep the soil cool and prevent dirt from splashing into the leaves.

• Feeding: Use a nitrogen-rich fertilizer once the plants are established to encourage leafy growth.

Harvesting for Maximum Crunch

Your Iceberg Lettuce Seeds 5g investment pays off at harvest time.

• When: Harvest when the head feels firm and solid when squeezed gently.

• Pro Tip: Always harvest in the early morning when the plant is full of moisture. This ensures the leaves stay crisp and don’t wilt quickly.
