Heirloom Lettuce Seeds for Home Gardens

About

Lettuce Seeds should make the crop easier to choose, not merely longer to scroll. Choose lettuce by harvest style: looseleaf for speed, butterhead for tender hearts, romaine for upright crunch, and crisphead for dense heads. Succession sowing matters more than planting one large bed. Start with season and space. These are cool-season crops that perform best when roots stay active, moisture remains steady, and harvest arrives before prolonged heat. Use the linked field guides to compare sowing windows, spacing, pests, harvest, and seed saving before choosing a packet.

A small garden benefits from repeated harvest and compact plants. A storage or preservation garden may favor larger, later varieties. Alliance of Native Seedkeepers maintains these collections as practical crop records. Variety names are not used to invent ancestry or certainty. Where history is documented, we say so. Where a strain has circulated through many seed houses and gardens, we describe that record honestly.
