Growing Zone

Most leafy greens like the cooler temperatures, but they can generally grow year-round. You want to be aware of the extreme temperature ranges in your region. Refer to the guidelines below:

COLD CLIMATES

  • If you live in a location where the temperatures dip below freezing, hold off on growing until night temperatures are consistently in the 40's.
  • On the occasional dips into the 30's, you can cover your seedlings with a sheet overnight.

WARM CLIMATES:

  • If you regularly experience temperatures above 90 degrees, you may want to focus on herbs and heat-tolerant fruiting plants (tomatoes and peppers) instead.

To find out what extreme temperatures your location experiences, check out the USDA zone for your region.

Introducing our premium Burpee Iceberg Lettuce – a crisp and refreshing addition to your culinary repertoire! Did you know that Burpee Iceberg Lettuce is not only a delicious and versatile ingredient but also a nutritional powerhouse?

Burpee Iceberg Lettuce is brimming with essential nutrients like vitamin A and minerals, contributing to healthy vision and skin, vitamin K and folate.

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.

Make sure to plant in nutrient dense soil to ensure thriving plants. You can purchase our Pura Terra soil specifically curated to help improve your soil.
