Iceberg Lettuce is a classic favourite, producing firm, compact heads with pale green leaves and a refreshing crunch. Grown from certified organic seed, this variety thrives in cooler months of spring and early summer, and rewards growers with uniform, crisp heads perfect for slicing or peeling off leaf-by-leaf.
Sow every few weeks for a continuous harvest, and keep well-watered during hot spells to prevent bolting. Iceberg stores well in the fridge and holds its texture beautifully in salads and sandwiches.
