Green Ice Lettuce

Green Ice Lettuce ​Variety Type: Loose-leaf lettuce (Lactuca sativa 'Green Ice') ​Appearance: Features brilliant, glossy, bright green, crinkled leaves with deeply ruffled edges that resemble frilly ruffles or crushed ice. ​Growth Habit: Forms an open, upright rosette head that typically reaches 8 to 12 inches in height and spread. Because it doesn't form a tight, dense head, it can be harvested continuously via the cut-and-come-again method. ​Flavor and Culinary Profile ​Taste: Exceptionally crisp, sweet, and mild with virtually zero bitterness, even when mature. ​Texture: Ultra-crunchy and succulent due to its thick, ruffled leaves. ​Usage: Excellent for fresh salads, gourmet wraps, burger toppings, and garnishes where both crisp texture and visual volume are desired. ​Agronomic and Cultivation Traits ​Maturity: Fast-growing, typically ready for harvest in 45 to 50 days from direct sowing or transplanting. ​Heat Tolerance: Highly regarded for its superior bolt resistance compared to traditional leaf lettuces, making it a reliable choice for warm-season or tropical lowland production. ​Growing Methods: Adapts exceptionally well to traditional garden soil enriched with organic matter, containers/grow bags, and hydroponic systems (such as NFT or DWC channels).
