Lettuce seeds for every vegetable garden
Lettuce is one of the most popular vegetables to grow yourself because it sprouts quickly, requires minimal space and produces a high yield. Nothing beats freshly picked lettuce from your own vegetable garden.
Our selection of lettuce seeds includes classic green varieties, colorful leaves and various crispy types that can be sown again and again throughout the growing season.
Most lettuce seeds germinate well at low temperatures, making them ideal for early spring and fall cultivation. With the right varieties, you can harvest fresh lettuce leaves for much of the year.
How to plant lettuce seeds
When sowing lettuce seeds, soil and temperature are crucial for good germination. The seeds should only be covered very lightly, as they need light to germinate optimally. A loose, moist and nutrient-rich soil provides the best conditions, and it is important to keep the soil evenly moist until the sprouts are well established.
Lettuce plants have relatively low nutrient requirements, but thrive best in constant moisture and light shade during summer periods. By sowing in small portions at 1–2 week intervals, you can ensure a continuous harvest throughout the season.
Good tips for growing lettuce
To avoid bitterness in the leaves, it is an advantage to water regularly and avoid drying out. In hot periods, the lettuce can quickly go to waste, and here heat-tolerant varieties or shady locations are a clear advantage. Many varieties are also suitable for coming back after you have harvested them, you pick the outer leaves and let the plant grow further.
