Lettuce needs plenty of moisture. Also, fall crops may have to be started indoors since lettuce has a difficult time even germinating in hot weather. Transplant with care. Learn more about growing your own greens on our blog.

Reviews

Good seeds, good germination

"This brand is pretty good. I usually have petty good germination rate of this brand of seeds anyways. I would definitely buy again. The lettuce had pretty good taste and crunch."

— Rubyp41 (4/5)

Good

"Overall a great product and worked very well. Grew pretty quickly and was easy to plant. I would repurchase again; however I would maybe consider a different type because it wasn’t my favorite but that is just personal preference. Works great if you have a decent garden."

— Paulinak13 (5/5)

Grows well

"I’ve never attempted to grow lettuce before so I was super excited to receive these. I wasn’t sure how it would grow because I received them a little late for my season. However it is growing well. I can’t wait to grow some more next year."

— Mschambers23 (5/5)

Easy to grow!

"These were one of the easiest plants that I grew this year! Packaging for the plants was as secure to keep the seeds dry. I personally haven’t grown this type of lettuce before so it was a pleasant surprise! Taste was good for a variety of salads!"

— Alexaw66dc (5/5)

Great

"This was so easy to grow! I put it in my raised garden and it’s had no problems. It’s not quite big enough to eat yet, but it has a very nice looking texture and color to it! I’m looking forward to having enough to eat!"

— Kaitlynf12 (4/5)

Beginner friendly!

"We were really surprised at how fast these lettuces grew! They were super beginner friendly and the instructions were super clear. Within the first week the seeds germinated and started sprouting. It’s been a few weeks and now we have some cute small lettuces to use. It’s still not fully mature but they look great and we cannot wait to taste test them- though my dogs have gotten little bites and seem to thoroughly enjoy it!"

— Michellec785 (4/5)

Easy care

"So I definitely planted seeds way too close together so we shall see how the bad boys mature. So far so good. I’m pretty happy with these lettuce seeds on grow time. Hadn’t taken a ton of time to germinate and start sprouting. Should be about 45days total before harvest and I think that is very reasonable. They’re very easy to care for."

— Tayslay (5/5)

Fun Growing

"I loved getting these seeds the germation rate was great, the packaging was cool and modern, the harvest yield was good for the amount I received. It came with easy growing instructions and the taste profile was on point."

— Tastynisha (5/5)

Not much germination

"In my first planting, I did direct sow and didn't have much germination. This may have been user error or animals eating the seeds, I'm not sure. Just sowed some more seeds so we'll see if I have better luck this time."

— Sberridge (4/5)

Lettuce!

"I was excited to receive these seeds. I love gardening, but don’t have much space and lettuce is easy to grow in containers. The seeds germinated within a few days. I am looking forward to some homegrown organic salads!"

— Lorraineo4 (4/5)
