Iceberg Lettuce - Lactuca sativa

Discover the Batavan Heirloom Iceberg Lettuce Variety

Iceberg lettuce, renowned for its popularity, features firm heads composed of tender, mild-flavored green leaves—truly delicious! The hearts of the heads are particularly tender and almost white. This variety is an excellent choice for home vegetable gardens, requiring average water and taking approximately 85 days to reach maturity.

Originally bred in 1894 from a French Batavian variety by W. Atlee Burpee & Co., iceberg lettuce traces its roots to the wild lettuce found in Asia Minor. Ancient historian Herodotus noted its presence on the tables of the Persian kings of the 6th century. Over the centuries, this versatile crop gained popularity throughout Europe, and its arrival in the New World via Columbus marked the beginning of its proliferation across North America. Today, lettuce is a staple component of gardens worldwide.
