Wild Lettuce (Lactuca virosa) Seeds: Grow This Delicious, Cold-Loving Lettuce
Wild lettuce is native to Central and Southern Europe, and it can be picked and eaten any time from early spring through to autumn. Into winter, the leaves toughen and become more bitter, before they die off for the rest of winter.
The hardiness and longevity of this plant makes it a great choice for gardeners who want to raise a salad leaf that they can harvest throughout the year. So long as you don't let it bolt, you'll have a supply of nutrient-rich lettuce leaves from spring all the way through to autumn!
You can plant the seeds directly outdoors, covering them very loosely with soil. They should germinate in 10 to 20 days, and can even germinate in cold, frosty conditions (though this can prolong things). In fact, warm soil temperatures can stop the seeds from germinating, so don't be tempted to start them off cosy and warm indoors—they like it cold! If you let them bolt, flowers can reach around 2m tall.
This pack contains 20 wild lettuce (Lactuca virosa) seeds.
