Webb's Wonderful Lettuce Seeds

Days to maturity: 65 to 88 days.

Webb?s Wonderful lettuce is a reliable heirloom variety that produces excellent yields of large crisp heads. Flavor is light and buttery, somewhat similar to butterhead lettuce. It is heat tolerant and even holds up well in southern gardens. Originally introduced in 1890 in England, Webb?s Wonderful is an excellent choice for the home gardener. Suitable for spring or fall crops, as it does prefer cooler temperatures, although it does tolerate heat well. Large, bright green heads with ruffly leaves.

Grow primarily in spring and fall, with winter production possible in mild climates and summer crops more successful in cooler regions. Plant in fertile, moisture-retentive but well-drained soil in vegetable gardens, raised beds, or containers. Full sun is suitable in cool weather; afternoon shade helps protect plants as temperatures rise. This beginner-friendly lettuce responds to consistent watering and feeding. Avoid drought stress, which can reduce quality and encourage bolting. Sow small batches every few weeks to spread harvests and allow enough room for full heads to develop without crowding.
