Dillon Organic lettuce seeds are CERTIFIED ORGANIC. This small, compact iceberg has tasty, crisp, refreshing dark outer leaves, and a creamy green interior. Its iceberg-type heads are well filled and dense. It handles heat and sun well, so it’s good for late summer production. Dillon holds well in the field and has an excellent disease resistance package: High resistance to downy mildew races 16-32, and intermediate resistance to lettuce root aphid. This lettuce has such a nice, crunchy texture, and enough water content that it is genuinely refreshing in a sandwich or burger. It was a popular hit in our field trials.

Direct sow or start indoors and transplant. Sow seeds 5mm (¼”) deep, or on the surface of the soil where the soil can be kept evenly moist.. Space or thin heading lettuce to 30cm (12″) apart. Space or thin looseleaf varieties to 20-25cm (8-10″) apart. Space rows for all types 45-90cm (18-36″) apart. Babyleaf lettuce can be planted quite densely, as it is harvested at an immature size. Sowing babyleaf lettuce seeds closely together in narrow rows makes harvesting simpler.
