Lettuce Types For Every Season - 9/15-9/21/2025

You're standing in your backyard, looking at that perfect sunny spot where you want to grow fresh, crispy lettuce all year long. The good news? You absolutely can! Growing lettuce from seeds in your own backyard is one of the most rewarding gardening experiences you'll ever have, and I'm here to walk you through everything you need to know about lettuce types for every season to grow from seed.

Lettuce Types For Every Season- All Seven Types

Let me start by sharing something that changed my gardening game forever. When I first started growing lettuce, I thought all lettuce was the same – boy, was I wrong! There are actually seven main types of lettuce, each with its own personality, growing requirements, and perfect planting season.

The seven lettuce superstars you need to know are butterhead, romaine, loose leaf, iceberg, bibb, oakleaf, and summer crisp. Each one brings something special to your garden and your dinner table, and understanding their differences will help you choose the right varieties for each season. Each kind of lettuce has many varieties and David's Garden Seeds® has the seeds for all of them.

Before we dive into the specifics, let's talk about the big picture. If you live in a warm climate like Texas, you're incredibly lucky because you can grow lettuce year-round with the right variety selection and timing. The key is matching the right lettuce type to the right season.

Spring is your lettuce paradise season. This is when you can grow almost any type of lettuce successfully because the temperatures are mild and the days are getting longer. Spring temperatures between 45° and 75°F create the perfect conditions for most lettuce varieties to thrive. But beware because in Texas, it can jump up to 100° in spring very quickly. That is when most varieties are over for the season!

For spring planting, you'll want to start your seeds about 4-6 weeks before your last expected frost date. In most areas, this means starting seeds indoors in late February or early March, then transplanting outside once the soil can be worked and temperatures consistently stay above freezing.

Summer lettuce growing is where things get tricky, but it's absolutely doable with the right approach. The challenge is that most lettuce varieties bolt (go to seed) quickly in hot weather, making the leaves bitter and inedible.

Lettuce Types For Every Season

This is where summer crisp lettuce becomes your best friend. Summer crisp varieties are specifically bred to handle heat better than other types, making them perfect for those scorching summer months when you're craving fresh salad greens.

Fall is another fantastic season for growing lettuce. The cooling temperatures and shorter days actually improve the flavor of many lettuce varieties, making them sweeter and more tender than their spring counterparts.

Winter lettuce growing might sound impossible, but in warmer climates, it's actually one of the best times to grow certain varieties. Cold-hardy lettuces like some romaine and butterhead types can handle light frosts and even improve in flavor after exposure to cool weather.

Lettuce types for every season can be grown indoors with a hydroponic grow tower. It won't matter what season it is outdoors.

Now, let's talk about the fundamental difference between head lettuce and loose leaf lettuce, because this choice will dramatically impact your gardening strategy and harvest timeline.

Head lettuce varieties form tight, compact heads that you harvest all at once. Think iceberg, butterhead, and some romaine varieties. These take longer to mature – usually 70-100 days from seed – but they give you that satisfying whole-head harvest experience.

Loose leaf lettuce, on the other hand, doesn't form heads at all. Instead, it produces individual leaves that you can harvest continuously throughout the growing season. Varieties like oakleaf and many loose leaf types fall into this category, and they're ready to harvest in just 40 to 50 days.

This is a type of oakleaf lettuce called Lollo Rossa.This is a type of oakleaf lettuce called Lollo Rossa.

The beauty of loose leaf lettuce is that you can practice "cut and come again" harvesting. You simply cut the outer leaves when they're big enough to eat, and the plant keeps producing new leaves from the center. It's like having a lettuce factory in your backyard!

Let's dive deep into butterhead lettuce, one of my personal favorites. Butterhead lettuce gets its name from its incredibly soft, buttery-textured leaves that practically melt in your mouth. The heads are loose and rounded, with tender outer leaves protecting an even more delicate heart.

Popular butterhead varieties include Boston and Bibb lettuce (yes, Bibb is actually a type of butterhead!). These varieties prefer cool weather and are perfect for spring and fall planting. In warmer climates, you can grow them through winter as well.

Plant butterhead lettuce seeds in early spring, about 2 to 4 weeks before your last frost date. The seeds can handle light frosts, but the mature plants prefer temperatures between 60-70°F. In fall, plant them about 10 to 12 weeks before your first expected frost.

Romaine lettuce is the tall, sturdy backbone of Caesar salads everywhere. These upright plants form elongated heads with thick, crunchy ribs and slightly bitter leaves that add fantastic texture and flavor to salads and sandwiches.

This lettuce is called Great Lakes Mesa and is an iceberg lettuce.This lettuce is called Great Lakes Mesa and is an iceberg lettuce.

What makes romaine special is its versatility. Some varieties are heat-tolerant enough for summer growing, while others are incredibly cold-hardy and can survive harsh winter conditions. This makes romaine one of the best choices for year-round lettuce production.

For spring romaine, start seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before your last frost, or direct sow 2-4 weeks before the last frost. Summer varieties should be planted in late spring for summer harvest, while fall romaine can be planted in late summer for autumn and early winter harvests.

Loose leaf lettuce is the speed demon of the lettuce world. These varieties don't form heads at all, instead producing beautiful, ruffled leaves in a variety of colors from deep red to bright green, sometimes even speckled or freckled patterns.

The biggest advantage of loose leaf varieties is their quick maturity – you can be harvesting baby leaves in as little as 30 days from planting. They're also more heat-tolerant than head lettuces, making them excellent choices for succession planting throughout the growing season.

Plant loose leaf lettuce every 2-3 weeks from early spring through fall for continuous harvests. In summer, choose heat-tolerant varieties and provide some afternoon shade to prevent bolting.

Iceberg lettuce is probably what most people picture when they think "lettuce." These form tight, round heads with crispy, pale green leaves and a satisfying crunch. However, iceberg is also the most challenging lettuce to grow successfully.

Iceberg lettuce is extremely sensitive to temperature fluctuations and requires a long, cool growing season to form proper heads. It needs about 80-90 days of consistent cool weather, making it primarily a spring and fall crop in most climates.

If you're determined to grow iceberg, start seeds indoors in late winter for spring harvest, or in mid to late summer for fall harvest. The key is timing your planting so the heads mature during the coolest part of the season.

Bibb lettuce deserves special attention because it's often confused with other butterhead varieties. True Bibb lettuce forms small, compact heads with dark green outer leaves and a creamy yellow heart. The texture is incredibly tender and the flavor is mild and sweet.

Bibb lettuce is perfect for small-space gardening because the heads only reach about 6 inches across. It's also one of the most cold-tolerant lettuce varieties, making it excellent for fall and winter growing in milder climates.

Plant Bibb lettuce in early spring for late spring harvest, or in late summer for fall and early winter harvests. The plants can handle light frosts and actually improve in flavor after exposure to cool weather.

Oakleaf lettuce gets its name from its distinctive lobed leaves that resemble oak tree leaves. This loose leaf variety comes in both green and red versions, with the red varieties adding beautiful color contrast to your garden and salad bowl.

One of the best things about oakleaf lettuce is its heat tolerance. While not as heat-resistant as summer crisp varieties, oakleaf can handle warmer weather better than most other lettuce types, making it a great choice for extended season growing.

Plant oakleaf lettuce in early spring and continue succession plantings every 2 to 3 weeks through early summer. In warmer climates, you can resume planting in late summer for fall harvests that can continue through winter.

Summer crisp lettuce, also known as Batavian lettuce, is your secret weapon for hot weather lettuce growing. These varieties combine the heat tolerance you need for summer growing with the satisfying crunch of iceberg lettuce.

Summer crisp varieties form loose heads with thick, crispy leaves that can handle heat without bolting quickly. They're perfect for those summer months when you're craving fresh lettuce but traditional varieties would wilt in the heat.

Plant summer crisp lettuce in late spring for summer harvest, and again in late summer for fall harvest. These varieties typically take 55 to 70 days to mature, so plan your planting accordingly.

Now let's talk about seasonal planting strategies. Spring is your easiest season for growing lettuce because the mild temperatures and increasing daylight create ideal conditions for most varieties.

For spring planting, start cool-season varieties like butterhead, romaine, and loose leaf lettuce indoors 6 to 8 weeks before your last frost date. You can also direct sow these varieties 2 to 4 weeks before the last frost, as lettuce seeds can germinate in soil temperatures as low as 35°F.

Summer lettuce growing requires a different approach. Focus on heat-tolerant varieties like summer crisp and certain loose leaf types. Provide afternoon shade using shade cloth or plant in locations that get morning sun but afternoon protection.

The key to successful summer lettuce is succession planting. Plant small amounts every 2 to 3 weeks rather than one large planting, and harvest frequently to prevent bolting. Keep the soil consistently moist and consider using mulch to keep roots cool.

Fall lettuce planting is often overlooked, but it produces some of the best-tasting lettuce you'll ever grow. Cool weather concentrates the sugars in lettuce leaves, making them sweeter and more flavorful than spring crops.

Start fall lettuce seeds in late summer, about 10 to 14 weeks before your first expected hard frost. The exact timing depends on your variety choice – quick-maturing loose leaf types can be planted later than slow-growing head lettuces.

Winter lettuce growing is possible in warmer climates and can extend your harvest season significantly. Choose cold-hardy varieties like certain romaine and butterhead types, and consider using row covers or cold frames for extra protection.

When deciding between head lettuce and loose leaf varieties, consider your gardening goals and eating habits. Head lettuces provide that satisfying whole-head harvest and store well in the refrigerator, but they take longer to mature and give you just one harvest per plant.

Loose leaf varieties, on the other hand, give you multiple harvests from each plant and mature quickly. They're perfect if you want fresh lettuce leaves for daily salads or if you're working with limited garden space.

For backyard lettuce production, I recommend starting with a mix of both types. Plant some quick-maturing loose leaf varieties for immediate gratification and continuous harvests, plus some head lettuces for those special salad occasions.

Soil preparation is crucial for successful lettuce growing. Lettuce prefers loose, well-draining soil rich in organic matter. Work compost or aged manure into your planting area, and ensure the pH is between 6.0 and 7.0.

When you grow lettuce from seeds, proper spacing is essential. Head lettuces need more space – about 8 to 12 inches between plants – while loose leaf varieties can be planted closer together, about 4 to 6 inches apart.

Watering is critical for lettuce success. These plants need consistent moisture but not waterlogged conditions. Water deeply but less frequently to encourage deep root growth, and try to water at soil level to prevent leaf diseases.

Fertilizing lettuce is straightforward – these plants are light feeders that respond well to nitrogen-rich fertilizers. Apply a balanced fertilizer at planting time, then side-dress with nitrogen every 3 to 4 weeks during the growing season.

Pest management for lettuce includes watching for aphids, slugs, and cutworms. Row covers can prevent many pest problems, especially in young plants. Companion planting with herbs like basil and chives can also help deter pests naturally.

Harvesting techniques vary by lettuce type. For head lettuces, wait until the heads feel firm when gently squeezed, then cut at soil level with a sharp knife. For loose leaf varieties, harvest outer leaves when they're 4 to 6 inches long, leaving the center to continue growing.

Storage and preservation of your homegrown lettuce is simple but important. Wash harvested leaves in cold water, spin or pat dry, and store in the refrigerator in perforated plastic bags. Most lettuce will stay fresh for 5 to 7 days when properly stored.

Succession planting is your key to continuous lettuce harvests. Plant new seeds every 2 to 3 weeks throughout the growing season, adjusting varieties based on the season and expected weather conditions.

Troubleshooting common lettuce problems includes dealing with bolting (going to seed prematurely), which is usually caused by heat stress or inconsistent watering. Choose appropriate varieties for your season and maintain consistent growing conditions.

Container growing is an excellent option for backyard lettuce production, especially if you have limited space or poor soil. Use containers at least 6 to 8 inches deep for loose leaf varieties, or 10 to 12 inches deep for head lettuces.

Remember, growing lettuce types for every season from seed is a journey of discovery. Start with varieties that match your climate and season, keep detailed records of what works best in your garden, and don't be afraid to experiment with new varieties each season. Your backyard can become a year-round source of fresh, delicious lettuce with the right planning and variety selection.

Good morning. Well, I had a rough night and then I woke up late. My bread did not rise enough to bake it last night so I put it in the fridge. At 4am when I was up and moving to the couch, I took the sourdough out of the fridge to let it rise some more.

At 7:30am, I put it in the pan and will soon bake the bread. 

I made some eggs with mushrooms and potatoes this morning for breakfast. They were delicious. I baked the bread. 

We have a new assistant who is part time. She came in and worked for four hours. Another one was maybe supposed to come but when I texted, she said she was busy and did not know when she wouldn't be. So why ask us for a job then?

It is now 2pm and I have been doing all sorts of Monday things. I have about one half of a mailbag filled with orders but I need to go pull some orders. That is what the second assistant was supposed to be doing today. There are about 86 left and we all know I won't get those pulled and closed today before the mailman gets here. Mondays are always our busiest days which is why it would be great to have someone here to pull orders then.

David had a doctor's appointment this afternoon that I forgot about. I stepped outside and saw him driving away but I did not know why until he texted later. Apparently the doctor's office had no air conditioning today. Fun, fun.

The people who bought the green shed were here late this afternoon, taking the bottom trim off and getting it ready to move. They left after the gate closed. They are supposed to move the shed on Wednesday.

Good morning. We have no helpers coming today that I know of. There is so much to do. 

I got over there and pulled orders and took care of some other things. Then I started mailing them out. The more I mailed, the more we got of new orders so it looked like I did nothing all day long.

Apparently, today was customer day because we had nine in person customer purchases. We had zero yesterday. 

One lady came in carrying one of the printed out articles that I put up two weeks ago, 15 Vegetables To Grow This Fall and she was following it. I was excited and thanked her for reading it. 

Tomorrow, we should have one helper but that second helper did not bother to call or come by today either so we had to work until after 7pm. The idea of having some helpers is to cut down on the work day for us but if they don't show up, it means they really don't want to be bothered with it, right?

We had two power failures today during the workday. It got hot fast both times. I guess the power was off a maximum of 20 minutes each time but it seemed like a lot longer.

David was up extra early this morning, unlocking everything. The green shed is supposed to get taken away this morning. Matt is already here as well.

I guess I had better get ready and get in the game. 

It is now 9:45am. The people who bought the shed have been here for almost an hour but the person who is actually getting the shed out of here still is not here. He said he would be here at 8am.

Yesterday, I ran out of farm fresh eggs and some customers were disappointed. I have two dozen farm fresh eggs for sale today. Whoever gets here first gets them. Who know? Maybe today we won't have any customers, like on Monday.

They finally dragged the green shed from behind the barn shed and then got it lifted up on the flat bed. This took over an hour.They finally dragged the green shed from behind the barn shed and then got it lifted up on the flat bed. This took over an hour.

So the shed movers were supposed to be here at 8am, get the shed and go. The buyers showed up at 9am and sat in the parking lot. The movers showed up at 10am and stayed for five hours and 43 minutes. Can you believe that? The owners stayed, too. They kept driving all around the property along with the movers. The movers had trouble first of all in loading the shed onto their flatbed because they did not bring one of those little mules. Good golly. It took them two hours to get that shed loaded with hooks and chains. Then they got stuck over and over and over. The owners got stuck several times as well.

This is part of the round and round rodeo on our new property. I thought they would have turned right and hit the road but no...This is part of the round and round rodeo on our new property. I thought they would have turned right and hit the road but no...

They finally got off of our original property and onto our new property and dropped the shed to reload it. That truck drove around in circles like they were performing at a rodeo once they unloaded the shed. What on earth? 

They dumped it off to put the shed on better but that was a huge mistake...They dumped it off to put the shed on better but that was a huge mistake...

After a while, they loaded up and I thought they would make a straight shot for the road but no. They had to come back over and get stuck in a sand bank by where the two properties meet. The buyers were stuck, too. After the buyers got unstuck, they left while the movers were still in the sand. The buyers got a very late lunch and brought it back. What they forget to get was gas. 

This was a job...This was a job...

Meanwhile, the movers called someone to come help them. A black pickup showed up and finally got them unstuck and zoomed off. The buyers were still in there truck driving around our property like they owned it. 

I was back in my office working when the buyer man came into the building that is just for employees. (Second time that happened this week. I told a customer after he came in but he refused to leave the other day.)

So this man comes in. David is no where around. He asked me if it was okay to leave their truck here for the night because they ran out of gas. What was he going to do if I said no?

He said the movers were no longer stuck. I went out to watch them finally leave. The buyers got into the mover's truck and they and the shed finally zoomed out of here at 3:43pm, just five hours and 43 minutes after they arrived. Good golly. Next time, spend a few hundred extra dollars and hire someone with the right equipment.

After almost 6 hours, we finally said goodbye to our first home out here on the farm. In the backyard, they trashed the bottom of it. It is all over the place.After almost 6 hours, we finally said goodbye to our first home out here on the farm. In the backyard, they trashed the bottom of it. It is all over the place.

It was a horrible day and I had a bad headache by the time those people got out of here. Who spends almost six hours to move a shed? Why on earth didn't they just go straight ahead to the road once they got over onto the new property. That is what other shed movers have done here and it worked out great. Good night. We still have four more sheds to be moved. Hopefully, the right equipment will be brought in.

We ended up having just two in-person customers today.

Our TrimLight lights stopped working again three weeks ago. The TrimLight man finally showed up here today around 11am and put in a new power supply. This time, it lasted about a year. He wants to take down our original lights and replace them with their newer lights for just $1000. Right now, that is someone's paycheck. We would rather eat than have the newest lights. I wish we had never gotten them. Honestly, they have been nothing but trouble because the power supply goes out a lot.

We had soft tacos for the MasterChef two hour finale. My head was still hurting by then from the earlier antics.

I found Sam having fun in the sand out in front of the store.I found Sam having fun in the sand out in front of the store.

Good morning. There are two men out in our storage shed so I told David and he asked me if one was Matt. No, Matt is not a strange man. He is our son. 

David got dressed and went out. Two were supposed to come but one said he could not make it last night, yet two are there. Matt showed up as David went out. They got a lot of things moved from the sheds that have been sold. Now we need for everyone to come and get their sheds so we can fix our fences.

Meanwhile, we are waiting for the couple from yesterday to come and get their truck that ran out of gas here. They showed up before 11am to gas the truck up and get gone.

Our real estate agent came out to take photos of the new property that is for sale. David told him to come take some photos after it was mowed.

Well, I need to go and get ready for the day. After yesterday, I don't even want to go out there. 

David tried notifying the person who was supposed to come over to start helping with pulling orders this morning. She completely ignored him and it is now 10pm. Obviously, she does not want to work here.

The Devine Hospice folk were here to pick up another load. They almost took a bunch of my Christmas decorations and one of a kind ornaments. I just happened to walk by and see a brand new wooden tree decoration that stands in my living room on their truck so I think I rescued things. David gives away everything in sight. But why would anyone want my Baby's First Christmas ornaments from the 1980s and 1990s? They mean nothing to anyone but me, thank you very much.

It was another day of hard work. We had just two in-person customers. I got a lot done. 

I snapped this when it was almost 8pm. I made a spaghetti casserole and came over to the store to tell David dinner was served.I snapped this when it was almost 8pm. I made a spaghetti casserole and came over to the store to tell David dinner was served.

Good morning. The sunrise looks a lot different now that several sheds are missing. We are waiting for the guy who bought the barn shed to come and get it. Then we can get the fence fixed in the backyard so the dogs can use their side of the yard again.

Right now, I am having to let them out of the kitchen door into a blocked off part of the yard. They escaped a few times but we think we have it all taken care of.

Two days ago with all of the shed moving drama, Matt called me while I was up in my work office. He said to block the front gate because Pamela was on her way out.

I opened the door and yelled out, "Pamela!" She came running to me from the new property where those people were all stuck, right up the stairs and into the building with me. Matt came and got her. He said she was trying to get into the truck with the shed and ran when Matt tried to get her. Anyway, she is fine.

I made homemade sausage McMuffins this morning. So tasty!I made homemade sausage McMuffins this morning. So tasty!

It is time for me to make breakfast. I don't know if David is having anyone come out today for anything. 

I made sausage McMuffins a la Juanita. 

We really do need to get a wall up in the store. Everyone is coming in and turning to the left where the seeds used to be. Some are trying to buy the seeds that come in bulk packages because they are out in the open. They also waltz on in to the other building where I am working and where some seeds are stored.

I have some new signs coming this morning that say "employees only". I wonder if that will help. We do have that on some doors. It has never been an issue before but we've had two different men do it just this week, even though with the one guy I said it was a private room and he couldn't come in. I closed the door in his face. He came in anyway and David would not ask him to leave. I did but he would not. Can you believe that? I should have locked the door but I did not expect him to come in anyway. People feel so entitled now.

This afternoon, David and I went to HEB for some groceries. We came back and got to work.

We had two ladies from Stockdale come to the store and I believe that is all for today.

Good morning. I had an awful night. I woke up late this morning. David made sausage McMuffins today. 

We had one in-person customer the entire day. 

I hope this week's article cleared up the many questions I seem to get in the store about lettuce types for every season.

I cleaned and then made shrimp and grits as well as a freshly baked loaf of sourdough, an Asian salad, and corn on the cob. It was a delicious meal fit for a queen (me, in case you missed the subtlety).

We watched some very strange movie from 1963 about this old hag who wanted young girls brought in so she could pick out her new body. She was paying some freak doctor to transplant her brain. The movie was called Monstrosity. It was just awful, a lot like Frankenstein but in America, using foreign women (who were actual Americans). Very stupid.

Good morning. I just got back in from taking care of the outdoor animals. Today is the first day I have been out back since they pulled out the green shed. Fences down that should still be standing, pieces of material from the bottom of the shed all over the property. Big sand dunes to climb through to get to my animals. I am not happy at all. Those guys had not a clue in what they were doing.

The snake is back in the pond. It moved pretty quickly so I just got the tail but it went into the folds in the pond lining. Who knows? It may never have left from days ago. 

We went to church and came home. Right now, I am watching Charlie Kirk's memorial service.

If you have not yet planted your fall garden, make sure you order some romaine lettuce varieties and read the above article on lettuce types for every season.
