Seeds never germinated. Most disturbing, they arrived in an envelope labelled "stickers" which means the shipper evaded customs inspection and phytosanitary paperwork. Not honest, and potentially harmful to our native ecosystems. When the first seeds didn't sprout, I microwaved the rest until they exploded or turned black, then microwaved the little bit of soil I'd planted them in, then threw the whole thing out. From now on, I only buy Canadian.

Love this lettuce grows pretty fast and looks as good as store bought. The colors a lighter green. Tastes great.

These have good germination rates, but the leaves are all oddly shaped. I don't know if this is just a quirk of lettuce, so it could be normal. Nevertheless, the seedlings are growing well; although their stems are weak, they continue to grow more true leaves.They are also resistant to soggy soil, I found out after I left them in a water-filled saucer for a few hours (forgot to take them out lol). Even though moss began growing, the lettuce plants remained alive and relatively well.

I took a chance on planting one seed per pod in my Aerogarden and they all came up. These are my plants after 3 weeks. Dark leaves, and crisp. Haven’t eaten any of it yet but looking forward to that!

I planted these in my Aerogrow garden along with 2 other types of lettuce. They all germinated within a week.The others are about 1-2 inches after 3 weeks, this one is still less than 1/2 inch.I dont attribute this to quality, but rather to the variety. I have no reason to believe this will not do well, but take longer.When I harvest it however, I will probably stick with something that grows more quickly.

It sprouted amazingly and grew as should. Then started growing a second time. We used in a salad. I wouldn't hesitate to order this again.
