Batavian Lettuce Seeds - 'Great Lakes'
9-12" height. 8-12" spacing. Produces large, dense heads with ruffled green leaves
Great Lakes has the distinction of being the first iceberg variety of lettuce ever developed. Wild lettuce, however, from which modern lettuce is derived, originated in Asia Minor. The ancient historian Herodotus records its presence on the tables of 6th century Persian kings, and throughout the following centuries it became a popular crop all over Europe. Columbus brought it with him to the New World, starting its spread over the North American continent. Without a doubt, lettuce now holds a place in nearly every garden on the globe.
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
