Lettuce 'Iceberg'

Position in a partial sun location and remember to water often. Keep in mind when planting that Iceberg is thought of as tender, so it is really important to plant out well after your last frost date. Planting Iceberg in loamy soil with a ph of between 6.2 and 6.8 is ideal for as it does best in weakly acidic soil.

Sow at a depth of approx. 0.25 inches (0.64 cm) and aim for a distance of at least 5.85 inches (15.0 cm) between Lettuce plants. Soil temperature should be kept higher than 5°C / 41°F to ensure good germination.

By our calculations, you should look at sowing Iceberg about 60 days before your last frost date.

As Iceberg is tender, ensure temperatures are mild enough to plant out - wait until after your last frost date to be on the safe side.

By our calculations, you should look at planting out Iceberg about 45 days before your last frost date.

This variety tends to be ready for harvesting by early autumn.
