INTRODUCING LETTUCE MICROGREENS SEEDS

Lettuce microgreens are young seedlings of a lettuce plant. They are ideal due to their nutrition and fast growth cycle, becoming ready for harvest after the first true leaves grow. These microgreens hold a concentrated source of vitamins and necessary minerals. Growing them is simple, provide good light and continue misting until they grow.

PLANTING LETTUCE MICROGREENS SEEDS

Sprinkle lettuce microgreens seeds thickly over 1/2-1 inch of moist potting mix. Use a well-draining shallow container, about 5 inches by 5 inches in size. Press the seeds in firmly. Mist with water and cover the container to retain moisture and block out the light. Place the container inside a cupboard or other dark space. Keep covered in darkness for 2-4 days. Mist when needed to retain the moisture. After a few inches of growth, or when microgreens begin lifting the cover, expose them to direct light. Harvest with scissors in 8-14 days.

MAINTAINING LETTUCE MICROGREENS

Lettuce microgreens will grow quickly. Mist them regularly from planting to harvest for best growth, and give them plenty of light via grow lights or by placing them on a windowsill. Start harvesting your microgreens when they reach about 2 to 3 inches in height, cutting just above the soil. Use them fresh to savor their taste and for best nutrient potency.

Growing lettuce microgreen seeds will be efficient and fast. They will reward you with a healthy, crispy taste and allow you to enjoy a quick harvest.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are heirloom seeds?

Heirloom seeds are the types of seeds your grandparents grew. These varieties have been passed down from generation to generation. They’re old reliable open-pollinated varieties that aren’t typically grown commercially. Instead, they have a rich history that predates modern breeding techniques. You can learn more about open-pollinated, heirloom, and non-GMO seeds in our Survival Garden Training blog.

How do I know my seeds are fresh?

Every seed packet includes a "packed for" date, and we germination test each seed lot before packaging to ensure you receive viable, high-quality seeds that are ready to grow.

Are your seeds chemically treated?

No, we do not pre-treat our seeds. All of our garden seeds are untreated, open-pollinated, non-GMO, and heirloom varieties. They are kept in temperature-controlled cooler storage until they are packed and shipped to keep them pest and disease-free.

Will your seeds grow in my USDA Hardiness zone?

The seeds in our collections are specifically chosen from varieties that can be successfully grown from Zone 3 to Zone 10 USDA Hardiness Zones. However, individual varieties have specific needs to thrive in different environments. Each seed pack has optimal temperatures for germination and instructions on seed starting. Consult local frost dates to plan your garden and get the most out of your seeds.

What is the shelf life of these garden seeds?

Most seeds remain viable for 3 to 5 years or longer when stored properly. Check your seed packet for specific varieties. For best results, keep your seeds in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. Store them in an airtight container in a consistent temperature environment—a refrigerator or cool basement works well. Proper storage helps maintain germination rates and extends seed life well beyond the packed date.

Where are Survival Garden Seeds sourced?

The majority of our seeds are sourced in the United States, with a few exceptions when the seed is difficult to source domestically. Whenever we do have to source outside of the US, we ensure our seeds are safe to grow, non-GMO, heirloom varieties that meet our standards for germination and reliability.
