  • Winter Lettuce Outdoors

    When I lived in the Pyrenees, I grew a variety of lettuce which was only to be grown in the winter. I thought it was called "Ice Queen" but I have searched for this on the web and it seems it needs at least a cold greenhouse. Mine grew through the snow and was harvested in the Spring and was the best flavour of any lettuce I have ever grown. Can anyone help me as to variety and where you can get the seeds. Mine were sent to be from England by my daughter, so they are not seeds you can only get abroad.

    You don't think this could be the same as 'Reine des Glaces' do you?
    In which case real seeds do it

      Actually no, it's not Reine de Glace as my one was not the frilly variety. However, many thanks for introducing me to Real Seeds. I had no idea such a firm existed and am overjoyed to have learned of it!

            My personal favourite is Rusty, which has been self-seeding for 6 years now (free lettuce!)
