Grow a plant with a long and storied history with our Wild Lettuce seeds. This heirloom biennial, also known as Bitter Lettuce, has been a highly valued herb in traditional wellness practices for centuries. In its first year, it forms a rosette of leaves, and in the second, it sends up a tall, stately stalk that can reach over 6 feet. The plant is traditionally grown for its milky latex and its edible young leaves, which have a mildly bitter taste.
