If you want a salad fast, this is the lettuce for you! Black Seeded Simpson is a classic heirloom loose-leaf variety that has been a favorite for over 150 years. It produces masses of bright, light-green, crinkled leaves that are exceptionally tender.
Our pure, untreated seeds are arguably the easiest lettuce to grow. It germinates quickly, grows vigorously, and is highly resistant to heat, drought, and light frosts. It is the ultimate reliable, 'cut-and-come-again' salad green.
š PURE & UNTREATED
Sourced securely to ensure completely natural growing conditions; safely untreated for family gardening.
ā” SUPER FAST GROWER
One of the earliest lettuces to mature; you can start harvesting baby leaves in less than a month.
š”ļø EXTREMELY HARDY
Highly adaptable heirloom that tolerates heat, drought, and light frosts with ease.
āļø CUT AND COME AGAIN
Harvest the outer leaves continually, and the plant will keep producing fresh greens for weeks.
1. Seed Starting
Direct sow seeds 1/8 inch deep in early spring. It is incredibly easy to grow from seed.
2. Germination
Keep soil moist. Sprouts appear very rapidly, usually within 5-10 days.
3. Thinning
Thin to 6-8 inches apart. The thinned out 'baby' seedlings make a fantastic early salad!
4. Care & Feeding
Requires very little fuss. Just provide consistent moisture for the tenderest leaves.
5. The Harvest
Start picking baby leaves in 28 days, or wait 45 days for full, bushy maturity!
