Grand Rapids TBR Lettuce Seeds (Lactuca sativa) – 1000+ Non-GMO Heirloom Seeds for Planting, Frilled Loose-Leaf with Excellent Tip Burn Resistance, by Isla’s Garden Seeds, Gift Idea for Gardeners

Grand Rapids TBR Lettuce (Lactuca sativa) is a classic loose-leaf variety prized for its finely curled, bright-lime leaves and reliable performance in variable spring weather. The TBR (Tip Burn Resistant) strain holds quality well, producing tender, sweet foliage even as temperatures rise.

Fast and productive, plants form open rosettes 8–10 inches across, perfect for cut-and-come-again harvests. Its crisp yet delicate texture shines in salads and sandwiches, delivering a steady supply of fresh greens from early spring through fall.

Pick baby leaves early for ultra-tender mixes, or allow plants to size up for plentiful full-size leaves. Grand Rapids TBR grows beautifully in beds, raised planters, and containers, making it a dependable choice for home gardens of any size.

With its frilly texture, mild flavor, and resistance to tip burn, Grand Rapids TBR Lettuce is an essential cool-season green for continuous, garden-fresh harvests.

Sow as soon as soil can be worked in spring, or in late summer for fall crops. Choose fertile, well-draining soil with full sun to light afternoon shade. For continuous salads, sow small patches every 2–3 weeks.

Direct sow 1/8 inch deep in rows 12–18 inches apart. Keep the seedbed evenly moist for uniform germination (7–14 days). Thin seedlings to 8–10 inches for full, airy rosettes; enjoy thinnings as baby greens.

Maintain steady moisture to keep leaves sweet and prevent stress. Harvest outer leaves regularly, or cut entire plants at baby size. In warming weather, provide light shade or mulch to extend quality and delay bolting.
