Green Ice leaf lettuce
A customer favorite since it was introduced in the late 1960s
Green Ice is Burpee bred and still the sweetest lettuce in our trials. Gorgeous texture too. Large clusters of rich green, ruffled leaves.
Harvest and Preserving Tips
For the best quality, pick lettuce early rather than late as lettuce allowed to grow too long may be bitter and tough.
Try to harvest in the morning when the leaves are crisp, sweet, and full of moisture.
Harvest looseleaf types anytime the leaves are large enough to use.
Harvest butterhead types when they have formed heads and the leaves are a good size.
Cut the heads below the crown.
On leaf types, you can just pick a few leaves at a time, if you like.
Store for 5-7 days in a plastic bag in the refrigerator. Many gardeners wrap leaves in moist paper towels.
Lettuce is a classic ingredient in salads. It adds crispness to sandwiches and can be used as a garnish, braised, or added to soups. Many of the looseleaf cultivars are also decorative in the garden.
All my seeds come in reusable ziplock bags with planting instructions.
Please note if you order more than one of this item they will be shipped packaged all in one ziploc bag with one set of planting instruction unless otherwise requested
