Black Seeded Simpson is a classic early-producing leaf lettuce known for its tender, curled leaves and fresh, crisp flavor. This easy-to-grow variety produces abundant greens ideal for salads, sandwiches, and garnishes. Harvest outer leaves regularly for continuous growth, or enjoy young thinnings as baby greens.

Suitable for spring planting with a second sowing in late summer for fall harvest.
