Harvest 70 to 79 days after planting.Crisphead Iceberg Lettuce (Lactuca sativa), is also known as Crisphead lettuce. Iceberg Lettuce is the one of the most popular types of crisphead lettuce, and has been a favorite for many years. Its popularity is due to its crisp, juicy texture. While not known for its impactful flavor, iceberg lettuce has a subtle, sweet taste. It is used in salads, on sandwiches, and as a garnish. Iceberg lettuce is an annual grown in zones 4-9. They prefer cooler weather, but need sunlight to grow properly. If they heat up too fast, or too early, iceberg lettuce could prematurely bolt, or go to seed. They are best when harvested just before this point, when the inner leaves are firm. Heat can also cause splitting or rotting, so start lettuce in the early spring so it can be harvested before the high heat of summer.
