What Makes Survival Garden Seeds Different - non-GMO heirloom seeds

Grow fresh, flavorful greens with Oakleaf Lettuce Seeds, a classic heirloom variety known for its tender, deeply lobed leaves and reliable performance in cool weather. This loose-leaf lettuce thrives in full sun to partial shade, offering flexibility for both early spring and fall plantings.

Enjoy it as baby leaf lettuce for delicate spring mixes or allow it to mature into loose, open heads that add a satisfying crunch to sandwiches, wraps, and salads. Oakleaf’s mild, sweet flavor and attractive leaf shape make it a longtime favorite among home gardeners and chefs alike.

Reliable Heirloom for Cool-Season Growing:

  • Performs well in cool temperatures and partial shade.
  • Produces tender, deeply lobed leaves with mild flavor.
  • Adaptable for small gardens, raised beds, or containers.

Why Gardeners Love Oakleaf Lettuce:

  • Versatile for both baby leaf and mature harvests.
  • Consistent growth with minimal maintenance.
  • Adds texture and color to salads and mixed greens.
  • Proven heirloom reliability across generations.

How to Grow:

  • Sow seeds directly in early spring or late summer for fall harvest.
  • Plant in loose, well-drained soil with consistent moisture.
  • Thin seedlings to allow 6–8 inches of spacing for full growth.
  • Harvest young leaves for tender greens or allow heads to mature for larger harvests.

Harvest & Use:
Cut outer leaves for continuous harvest, or pull entire heads when mature. Enjoy fresh in salads, sandwiches, or wraps for a crisp, mild bite.
