Salad Bowl Lettuce Seeds
Grow a Salad. Pick It. Grow Another.
Why harvest your lettuce only once?
Salad Bowl Lettuce is made for repeat harvests.
Its loose rosettes produce masses of tender, deeply lobed green leaves with a mild, sweet flavor and delicate texture. Pick the outer leaves and leave the center growing, and the plant continues producing fresh lettuce for your next salad.
Fast-growing, easy to grow, and incredibly productive, Salad Bowl is a classic for a reason.
Why Grow Salad Bowl Lettuce?
✂️ The ultimate cut-and-come-again lettuce.
Harvest outer leaves while leaving the growing center intact, and plants continue producing fresh leaves for future harvests.
🥬 Tender & delicious.
Beautifully lobed green leaves have a soft texture and mild, sweet flavor that’s ideal for fresh eating.
⚡ Fast harvests.
Begin picking tender baby leaves in just a few weeks instead of waiting for a full head to mature.
🥗 Made for salads.
The loose-leaf growth habit makes harvesting exactly what you need for dinner incredibly easy.
🪴 Perfect for small spaces.
Salad Bowl grows beautifully in raised beds, window boxes, patio containers, and even densely planted salad gardens.
A Lettuce Designed for Harvesting
Unlike heading lettuces that gardeners often wait to harvest all at once, Salad Bowl naturally grows as a loose rosette.
That makes it ideal for leaf-by-leaf harvesting.
Pick the largest outer leaves and leave the smaller center leaves untouched. The plant keeps photosynthesizing and producing new growth from its center.
Instead of one harvest, one planting can give you salad after salad.
Growing Information
Sun: Full sun to partial shade
Soil: Rich, fertile, well-drained soil
Planting Depth: Approximately ⅛ inch — barely cover
Spacing: 6–10 inches apart for mature plants
Germination: Approximately 5–10 days under favorable conditions
Water: Keep consistently moist for tender, crisp leaves
Harvest: Baby greens in approximately 25–30 days; mature leaves around 45–50 days

Growing Tip
For the longest possible harvest, don’t cut the entire plant at ground level.
Instead, regularly harvest the largest outer leaves while leaving the center intact.
Plant another small batch every 2–3 weeks, and you’ll have multiple generations of lettuce producing at different stages.
As summer approaches, afternoon shade and consistent moisture can help extend production.

Did You Know?
✂️ Harvesting doesn’t have to kill the plant. Properly picking outer leaves allows the growing center to continue producing.
🌱 Baby lettuce is simply young lettuce. You can harvest the same plants early for tender baby greens or allow them to grow larger.
🥗 Loose-leaf lettuce is exceptionally easy to harvest. There’s no need to wait for a tightly formed head.
🔄 Succession planting dramatically extends your season. A few seeds planted every couple of weeks can be more useful than planting the entire packet at once.
🌳 Afternoon shade helps in warm weather. Keeping plants cooler can slow bolting and help maintain better leaf quality.
