Hanson Iceberg Lettuce
65-80 days. This immensely popular heirloom Iceberg Lettuce dates back to the early 19th century. Beloved for its large size, with heads weighing up to 3 pounds, it has a crisp texture and mild taste without a trace of bitterness. It's more heat tolerant than many Icebergs, with white seeds and light green leaves that are perfect for sandwiches and family-sized salads. (OP.)

A far cry from its wild, weedy ancestors, Lettuce now appears in all shapes, textures, flavors and sizes, bringing healthy crunch to modern kitchens. The varieties we offer are beautiful, reliable and usually not available in stores. To enjoy its ephemeral sweetness and texture, make sure Lettuce grows quickly: water it frequently and fertilize weekly with fish emulsion or manure tea. Direct-seed from the spring through the late summer. For baby greens, sow thickly and harvest with scissors or raise transplants, plugging seedlings into empty spaces in your garden as they become available.
Average seed life: 3 years.
To broaden the range of texture and flavor in your garden and salads, don't forget to plant some of these specialty Salad Greens: Arugula, Asian Greens, Chervil, Claytonia, Cress, Dandelion Greens, Endive, Escarole, Frisee, Giant Red Mustard, Komatsuna, Lettuce, Mache, Mibuna, Minutina, Mizuna, Orach, Radicchio, Salad Blends, Sorrel, Spinach, Swiss Chard, and Tatsoi.
