How long does it take for lettuce to grow?

Maturation times for lettuce may vary depending on the specific variety, check the product description for each variety on our site for specific times. However, lettuce generally takes 30 to 70 days to mature. Fast-growing varieties like leaf lettuce can be harvested as early as 30 days, while head lettuce types may take up to 70 days. Kings Seeds provides a wide range of lettuce seeds that cater to different growing preferences.

What is the easiest lettuce seed to grow?

All lettuce types are easy to grow, selection comes down to personal preference. Cos and Iceberg lettuce remain a popular choice due to their crisp and juicy leaves, but, as hearting types, will take slightly longer to mature. More open types like Frill and Oakleaf grow more quickly and come in a range of colours and leaf shapes attractive in salads. Kings Seeds offers a diverse selection of easy-to-grow lettuce seeds that suit a range of climates.

What is the best month to plant lettuce?

Lettuce can be grown all-year-round either indoors or outdoors, you just need to select the right variety for your growing location. The best time to plant lettuce in New Zealand is during the cooler months of spring and autumn. These seasons provide the ideal temperatures for lettuce to thrive, as it prefers cooler weather. Kings Seeds offers a variety of lettuce seeds suited for different planting times, allowing you to enjoy fresh, crisp lettuce year-round.

Will lettuce grow back after cutting?

Several lettuce varieties will regrow after cutting, particularly loose-leaf types. When harvesting, cut the leaves about an inch above the soil level, leaving the base intact. New leaves will begin to grow, providing multiple harvests from a single plant. Kings Seeds offers a selection of cut-and-come-again lettuce seeds, ensuring a continuous supply of fresh greens.
