Unit price perLactuca sativa
Saladin is a reliable Crisphead Lettuce producing dense, well-formed heads packed with crisp, succulent dark green leaves. An Iceberg-type variety, it combines excellent crunch with good flavour and has long been grown for both commercial production and the home vegetable garden.
The firm leaves and tightly packed heart have a refreshing, juicy texture that holds particularly well after harvest. Saladin is excellent shredded or torn into salads, layered into sandwiches and burgers, added to wraps or used as crisp lettuce cups.
Its uniform growth and substantial heads make Saladin a dependable choice where a traditional crisp lettuce is wanted. It performs particularly well from spring and autumn plantings, when mild temperatures allow heads to develop without excessive heat stress.
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 densely packed foliage, firm texture and crunchy hearts.
Saladin prefers fertile, well-drained soil with a near-neutral pH and consistent moisture. Regular watering is particularly important as the heads develop, helping produce succulent leaves and preventing stress that can lead to bitterness or 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 and autumn
Cold climates: Spring to early autumn
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 the dense heads to develop fully. Grow in full sun during cooler weather or provide some afternoon shade as temperatures increase.
Keep soil consistently moist throughout growth, particularly while heads are forming. Harvest once heads are dense, firm and well developed, cutting cleanly at the base.
Maturity: approximately 60–70 days.
Due to quarantine restrictions, TAS has an 800g limit per each seed variety and WA has a 10,000 seeds limit per variety.
