Black Seeded Simpson Lettuce Seeds

Lactuca sativa Black Seeded Simpson Lettuce Lactuca sativa Black Seeded Simpson Lettuce is a legendary heirloom loose-leaf variety, cherished for its rapid growth, delicate texture, and exceptional heat tolerance. Growing to about 9 to 12 inches tall with a spread of 10 to 12 inches, this variety is perfect for kitchen gardens, raised beds, and container plantings where reliable, early harvests are desired. Unlike heading lettuces, Black Seeded Simpson forms a loose, upright rosette of crinkled, light-green leaves that can be harvested as baby greens in as little as 3 weeks or allowed to mature for a full-sized harvest in just 45 days.   Culinary and Practical Uses The crinkled, chartreuse leaves possess a crisp, juicy texture and a sweet, mild flavor that never turns bitter, making them the ultimate base for fresh spring salads. Excellent for "cut-and-come-again" harvesting; outer leaves can be snipped for sandwiches and garnishes while the center continues to grow. Rich in Vitamin A
