AnnualBlack seeded Simpson lettuce is one of the most popular forms of lettuce for the home gardener. Cut and come again style lettuce provides tons of food from just a single plant. Easy to grow, very versatile, and a delicious non-bitter variety of lettuce.
I planted my seeds about 2 weeks ago. I got 100% germination and they are growing very well. I’m hardening off now and hope to plant next week.
Bought and planted twice last year. Great cut and come again out of the 3 gallon fabric pot. Light and fresh tasting, great for burgers and tacos. Does bolt and get bitter when it gets too hot so be careful. Was a real shame when we had to start buying store lettuce again. Made sure it was on the purchase list for this coming year, can't wait to plant!
One of my favorite lettuces! This stuff is sweet, tender, and one of the first things to germinate in spring. I plant it every year.
We won't be planting these seeds until Spring 2026. Past experience with this company has always been exceptional.
I love Black Seeded Simpson Lettuce. Grows fast and will continue to give you great lettuce if you keep cutting it back. Has great flavor and is very easy to grow.
I have been buying seeds from you for the last 3 years. They germinate very well, and have produced the best gardens I have ever had. I just got my order for this year started in my greenhouse. For the first time I opened a packet of All Seasons Cabbage and there were no seeds in it. the rest of the order is doing great. The price of the seeds also good.

This is my first year growing straw flower. The germination rate is fantastic and you get so many seeds. Can't wait till they can moved outdoors and bloom in my purple flower bed.
Everything but the royal paste sprouted. Sometimes that happens. Will place another order for fall planting.
This variety was excellent for me for cooking. I needed to pick fewer leaves and chopping was a breeze. The spinich felt more succulent and thicker than the American (smaller spoon shaped leaves). I would use it for cooking and keep the smaller leaved varieties for raw salad eating. My weather was a tricky early on and off again spring and winter pattern, so I think that triggered early bolting, but even still. It was pretty hands off and worth it.
Awesome producer and neat looking fruit! The abundant cucumber beetles seem to ignore the vines too!
