Lactuca sativa

Nowadays, it is almost impossible to find a good heading lettuce. Great Lakes was the market leader until the pre-packaging of loose leaves.  First introduced in 1941 by the USDA and Michigan Agriculture Experiment Station, it was the first modern “Iceberg” lettuce and has since been the farming standard for commercial growers for decades.

Nothing can beat this variety as a consistent producer of good-sized, round heads that are easy to pick and prepare. Grow extra to harvest the young, crunchy, baby greens when thinning out. Leaves are crisp and tender with wonderful flavour, perfect for sandwiches and salads.

Heat and cold-tolerant with a strong resistance to bolting and tipburn. 

Ready to harvest at about 75-90 days.
