The Ice Queen Lettuce: A Legendary Crispness, From France to Your Plate!

Discover the Ice Queen lettuce, a two-hundred-year-old variety originating from France, often sold under the names Ice Queen and Queen of Ices in North America, Queen of the Ices in the United Kingdom, and Regina delle Ghiacciole in Italy. This pure batavia, with exceptional cold resistance, withstands the first snows without flinching. Imagine a fresh and crisp lettuce, even when the cold sets in!

Its bright emerald green leaves are ultra-crisp and distinguished by a strongly serrated and wavy edge that gives it a curly appearance. Very quickly, it forms a dense head, highly resistant to heat and that does not become bitter, even in summer heat. After harvesting the head, the plant can be left in the ground and cultivated as a cut-and-come-again lettuce, thus offering a second harvest of young leaves. Very refreshing raw, it is surprising when quickly heated in a pan, as its leaves retain their crispness even when heated. Try it with hot garlic butter for a unique taste experience! In addition to its taste qualities and superior performance in the garden, the Ice Queen proves to be very resistant to downy mildew. Grow our organic seeds of Ice Queen Lettuce and savor a legendary crispness, from the garden to your plate.
