Here's the Heritage Story: 

The Burpee Iceberg Lettuce traces its origins back to the late 19th century when it was developed by W. Atlee Burpee, a renowned American seedsman and founder of the W. Atlee Burpee Company. Burpee was a pioneer in the seed industry, known for his innovative breeding techniques and commitment to quality.

The development of the Burpee Iceberg Lettuce was a significant milestone in lettuce cultivation. It's crisp texture, refreshing taste, and compact, round heads set it apart from other lettuce varieties of the time. Burpee's meticulous selection and breeding processes resulted in a lettuce that quickly gained popularity among farmers and consumers alike.

Plant Specifications: 

Burpee Iceberg Lettuce typically matures in about 2-3 weeks after planting starter plants, depending on growing conditions and the specific variety. You can harvest it earlier for baby greens or wait until the heads are fully formed and firm.
