How to Save Seeds

Lettuce is primarily self-pollinating, so different varieties can generally be grown approximately 50 feet apart while maintaining seed purity.

Plants should be established and roughly 2 inches tall before colder weather arrives. In colder regions, mulch heavily through winter until plants resume growth and begin bolting the following season.

Once lettuce bolts, it produces tall flowering stalks that can reach 4 to 5 feet high. After flowering, feathery seed heads begin to form and mature gradually over several weeks.

Harvest mature seeds by gently shaking the feathery seed heads into a paper bag. Allow seeds to dry fully before storing in a cool dry location for future planting.
