Saladin Iceberg Lettuce

UDSA Certified Organic. These thick, crispy dark green leaves are tender at the leaf margin and thicken towards the root. These large, tightly wrapped leaves offer a sweet and refreshing classic iceberg taste. With an extended cooler shelf life post-harvest, this iceberg-type lettuce is the ideal choice for that perfect wedge salad.

Each plant is started from certified organic seeds and grown organically at The Bloomery, LLC where it is USDA Certified Organic through the Kentucky Department of Agriculture. Each plant is grown in a 3-inch square pot and shipped in a plastic shell that holds your plant securely in place.

Note from the grower: We take great pride in growing you the best, healthy plants for your garden. We love helping our customers with their gardening needs. Each plant is grown with love and care from our family farm and straight to your garden. Please feel free to reach out if we can be of any help. 

Plant Spacing:

• Babyleaf – continuous band.
• Full size – 8-12”

Row Spacing:

• Babyleaf - ¾” between bands, 16 rows/36” bed.
• Full size - 12-18” or 3 rows/36” bed, 5’ centers.

Other Considerations:

• Harden off seedlings by reducing water and temperature for 2-3 days before transplanting. 

Harvest:

• Cut lettuce holds best when harvested in the morning and cooled rapidly. 
• For salad mix or baby leaf production, harvest individual leaves when they reach desired size, or cut evenly across the bed making sure to stay above the growing tip. 
• For a continuous harvest, sow lettuce every 3 weeks.

Storage:

• Store just above freezing temperatures with 98% humidity.
