Lettuce Iceberg Seeds
$3.90
Unit price perLactuca sativa
Iceberg is a classic Crisphead Lettuce producing medium-sized, tightly formed heads with crisp, succulent hearts. The light green outer leaves develop an attractive bronze-tinged fringe, surrounding paler, crunchy leaves at the centre.
Introduced in 1894, Iceberg became one of the best-known lettuce types in the world, prized for its exceptional crunch, refreshing flavour and ability to hold well after harvest. The crisp leaves are excellent in salads, sandwiches and wraps, shredded into tacos and burgers, or used as fresh lettuce cups.
This traditional variety has useful heat and disease resistance and is considered a good summer choice for the home garden, although, like most lettuces, it performs best when protected from extreme heat. Consistent moisture is particularly important while the dense heads are forming.
Lettuce is one of the world’s oldest cultivated salad vegetables, grown for thousands of years and spreading through the ancient Mediterranean world. Crisphead lettuces were selected for their tightly packed leaves and firm, crunchy hearts and became especially popular during the late 19th and 20th centuries.
Iceberg prefers fertile, well-drained soil with a near-neutral pH and consistent moisture. Some afternoon shade can be beneficial during hotter weather and may help delay premature bolting.
Seed count: approximately 600–1,000 seeds/g
Approximately 200 seeds per packet
When to Plant (Australia)
Tropics: Autumn to winter
Subtropics: Autumn to spring
Mild climates: Spring to autumn
Cold climates: Spring to summer
Planting / Sowing
Sow shallowly, approximately 3–5 mm deep, directly into prepared soil or raise in trays for transplanting. Lettuce seed needs only a light covering and germinates best in cool to mild conditions.
Space plants approximately 25–30 cm apart to allow heads to develop fully. Grow in full sun during cooler weather or provide some afternoon shade during hotter conditions.
Keep soil consistently moist throughout growth, particularly as heads begin to form. Harvest when heads are firm, well developed and crisp, cutting cleanly at the base.
Maturity: approximately 50–85 days.
Due to quarantine restrictions, TAS has an 800g limit per each seed variety and WA has a 10,000 seeds limit per variety.
