Black Seeded Simpson's Lettuce Seeds

Grow a garden classic with Black Seeded Simpson’s Lettuce—one of the most popular loose-leaf lettuce varieties for home gardeners and market growers alike. Known for its fast growth, tender texture, and mild, slightly sweet flavor, this heirloom lettuce produces bright green, frilly leaves that are perfect for fresh salads, sandwiches, and wraps.

Black Seeded Simpson is highly adaptable and thrives in a wide range of climates, making it an excellent choice for both spring and fall planting. Its loose-leaf growth habit allows for continuous harvesting—simply pick outer leaves as needed and let the plant keep producing. This variety is also more heat-tolerant than many lettuces, helping to delay bolting and extend your harvest season.

Easy to grow and quick to mature, it’s a great option for beginners and experienced gardeners alike. Whether you’re planting in garden beds, raised beds, or containers, Black Seeded Simpson delivers reliable yields and crisp, flavorful greens.

Key Features:

• Heirloom loose-leaf lettuce variety
• Fast-growing and easy to cultivate
• Mild, tender leaves with a delicate flavor
• Cut-and-come-again harvesting for continuous yields
• Performs well in cool weather and tolerates light heat
• Ideal for gardens, raised beds, and containers

Planting & Growing Tips:
Sow seeds directly in well-drained soil in early spring or late summer. Lettuce prefers cooler temperatures and partial sun in warmer climates. Keep soil consistently moist for best germination and growth. Harvest outer leaves when they reach a usable size, or cut the entire plant at once.

Perfect for gardeners looking for dependable, delicious greens straight from the garden to the table.
