Lettuce Seeds
Originally used as a medicinal plant, lettuce was eaten as early as 4500 BC and enjoyed both by the Greeks and Romans. The Greeks believed lettuce induced sleep, the Romans ate it at the beginning of a meal to sharpen the appetite, and it was known to the Anglo-Saxons as sleepwort.

Growing Lettuce from Seed
Lettuce is a simple-to-grow vegetable that can be grown in a variety of spaces, both indoors and outdoors. It can be grown in vegetable beds, though can just as easily be grown in containers and even hanging baskets as options for those with limited spaces.
You can sow lettuce seeds from spring to autumn, allowing you to harvest fresh, crisp lettuce throughout the year. However, seeds that are sown earlier and later in the year benefit from the use of garden cloches. Lettuce grows very quickly, meaning that you’ll likely see seeds mature within four to six weeks.
Growing your own lettuce gives you plenty of options to add some diversity to your salads, with seeds available in many different flavours, textures and colours. If you would like to make growing your lettuce even easier, you can choose from our many lettuce plants, skipping the germination stage that can sometimes pose issues.
For further information on growing lettuce, you can read our in-depth blog on how to grow lettuce from seed for step-by-step guidance on each stage of growing.
