Crisp salad greens for cool-season harvests

This collection of Lettuce Seeds showcases the diversity of salad greens within Lactuca sativa. From loose leaf types for quick baby leaf mix and mesclun, to tender butterhead types, upright romaine hearts, and dense crisphead types, the range spans textures, leaf shapes, and hues from bright green to deep red. Selected Leaf lettuce seeds, Romaine lettuce seeds, and Butterhead lettuce seeds support kitchen gardens seeking reliable, mild-tasting harvests for salads, wraps, and sandwiches. Suitable for raised beds and container gardening, these Lettuce Seeds perform in compact spaces as well as larger plots, offering consistent growth for everyday culinary use. Head lettuce seeds and looseleaf lines are grouped to simplify choosing Lettuce Seeds for intended use, whether for full heads or frequent leaf picking.

As a cool-season crop, Lettuce Seeds thrive when sown in cool conditions from early spring; repeat little and often, and in mild climates autumn sowing may be possible. Best results come in moist, fertile, well-drained soil rich in organic matter, with steady soil moisture to maintain tender texture. Direct sowing followed by thinning seedlings encourages strong rosettes, while regular succession planting keeps salads coming. Germination tips focus on even moisture and shallow coverage, and many selections suit container gardening or hydroponic lettuce setups for efficient, clean harvests. Loose leaf types can be taken young for a baby leaf mix, while romaine and crisphead choices are ideal for forming larger heads.

For warmer spells, bolt-resistant varieties and heat-tolerant lettuce extend the harvest window. Many looseleaf choices allow a cut-and-come-again harvest, while romaine and crisphead types bulk up for larger heads with satisfying crunch. Salad mix seeds blend red leaf lettuce and green leaf lettuce for balanced flavor and texture across the season. With thoughtful spacing and gentle harvesting practices, Lettuce Seeds deliver tender leaves from compact containers to generous beds throughout the cool months.

Lactuca sativa varieties and growing guide

The links below highlight neighboring categories for comparing leaf types, flavors, and sowing times alongside lettuce. Most options prefer cool conditions; sow after the last frost and provide light shade as heat builds. In mild climates, autumn sowing may be possible. These groupings span chicories, brassicas, and other greens suited to quick cuts, salad mixes, and succession plantings.

Lactuca sativa varieties and growing guide

Lettuce seeds produce cool-season salad greens, from baby leaf mixes and mesclun to romaine hearts, butterhead, loose leaf and crisphead types. Grow in full sun to light shade, providing partial shade in summer heat. Plant in moist, fertile, well-drained soil rich in organic matter and keep soil moisture consistent to discourage bolting. Sow in cool conditions from early spring, repeating little and often for succession harvests; in mild climates, autumn sowing may be possible. Direct sow into raised beds or containers, or start in modules; sow shallowly as light aids germination. Thin seedlings to improve airflow and head development. Harvest as cut-and-come-again leaves or allow red and green leaf lettuces to mature; plants also adapt well to hydroponic culture.

  • For warm spells, choose bolt-resistant, heat-tolerant lettuce; provide temporary shade to limit heat stress.
  • Sow very shallowly; lettuce seeds are light-sensitive—cover lightly and keep evenly moist; germination slows in high temperatures.
  • Practice succession planting and direct sowing for a steady salad mix; thin seedlings to reduce crowding and improve leaf quality.
  • Mulch and water regularly to maintain cool, even soil moisture; avoid waterlogging in heavy soils.
  • Container suitable: performs well in container gardening with a deep, fertile mix; monitor moisture closely.
  • Edible use: harvest as baby leaf or let heads mature; repeat cuts encourage cut-and-come-again yields.

How to grow lettuce from seed successfully

Lettuce seeds thrive in cool conditions and in moist, fertile, well‑drained soil enriched with organic matter. Direct sow thinly where they will grow or start in trays for transplanting, keeping the surface consistently damp for even germination. Sow shallowly, as lettuce benefits from light during germination, and thin seedlings so each plant has space to breathe and expand. Provide full sun to light shade, shifting to partial shade in summer to reduce stress. Maintain steady soil moisture, especially in raised beds and containers, to support tender, flavorful leaves.

When should I sow lettuce seeds outdoors?

Sow outdoors in cool weather from early spring once the soil can be worked and hard frosts have largely passed; lettuce is a cool‑season crop and appreciates mild temperatures. Repeat little and often through the season for a steady supply, adjusting to partial shade as days heat up. In mild autumns, additional sowings may be possible for late harvests. During hot spells, provide shade cloth or plant in dappled light, and keep the root zone evenly moist to minimize bitterness and bolting.

Which lettuce seeds are best for salads, including baby leaf and mesclun mixes?

For versatile salad greens, loose leaf types and baby leaf mix (often sold as mesclun or salad mix seeds) offer rapid, reliable harvests and diverse textures. Red leaf lettuce and green leaf lettuce bring color and tenderness, while romaine hearts add crunch to mixed bowls. Butterhead types give soft, sweet leaves suited to delicate salads. Crisphead types can form denser heads for classic wedges but generally need steadier conditions and a bit more time. Mixing several seed types encourages varied flavors and staggered maturity.

Heat‑tolerant and bolt‑resistant lettuce seeds: what helps in warm weather?

Look for heat‑tolerant or bolt‑resistant varieties if summers warm quickly; many growers find certain loose leaf and romaine selections cope better with early heat than very dense heads, though results vary by cultivar. Cultural care is equally important: plant in full sun to light shade, shift to partial shade in summer, keep soil moisture steady, and mulch lightly to moderate root temperatures. Harvest at a modest size and practice succession planting so new, unstressed plants replace older ones as temperatures rise.

Are lettuce seeds suitable for containers, and how can I succeed on patios or balconies?

Yes—lettuce is well suited to container gardening thanks to its shallow roots and quick growth. Choose a wide container with drainage holes and fill with a fertile, well‑drained mix rich in organic matter. Sow thinly, then thin seedlings or harvest extras as baby leaves to avoid crowding. Position in full sun to light shade, providing afternoon shade in hot weather, and keep the potting mix evenly moist to prevent stress. Window boxes and troughs work well, and some growers also raise lettuce in hydroponic systems with consistent conditions.

Cut‑and‑come‑again lettuce seeds: how do you harvest for continuous leaves?

Loose leaf and baby leaf mixes are ideal for cut‑and‑come‑again harvests. Once leaves reach usable size, snip the outer leaves or shear a few centimeters above the crown, leaving the growing point intact to encourage regrowth. Keep soil moisture steady and provide light shade during hot periods to extend the cutting window. Regular, moderate harvests maintain tender texture and help prevent plants from rushing to flower; sowing small patches frequently ensures a continuous supply of fresh salad greens.

Our products are sourced from vetted growers and processed to meet applicable quality and phytosanitary standards. Lots undergo routine viability and purity checks, and are packed and labelled in line with current regulations. Use guidance here as general information; performance and timing can vary with microclimate, soil, hardiness zone, and hemisphere. Always refer to the specific instructions on the product page for the current batch, including sowing windows and handling notes, as these supersede general advice.

Crisp salad greens for cool-season harvests

Lettuce seeds reward growers with quick, tender leaves during cool spells. Select types to suit your plate: looseleaf for cut-and-come-again salads, butterhead for soft texture, romaine for upright crunch, and crisphead for dense hearts. Sow as soon as soil can be worked and daytime temperatures are mild; germination is strongest in cooler conditions. Direct sow after the last frost or transplant starts, spacing closely for baby greens and wider for full heads. Keep moisture even to prevent bitterness, and feed lightly for steady growth. Succession sow every 2–3 weeks to maintain a steady harvest. As heat builds, provide light shade and mulch to keep roots cool and reduce bolting. For later harvests, sow in late summer so heads mature in cooling weather; in mild climates, autumn sowing may be possible with protection from hard freezes.
