Description
This heirloom lettuce variety is popular with many home vegetable gardeners. Black Seeded Simpson quickly produces an abundance of light-green, lightly crumpled, juicy leaves. The large upright plants are widely adapted and tolerant to heat, drought, and frost with about 50 days to maturity. Black Seed Simpson lettuce was introduced by Peter Henderson & Co in the 1870s. Wild lettuce, however, from which modern lettuce is derived, originated in Asia Minor. The ancient historian Herodotus records its presence on the tables of 6th century Persian kings, and throughout the following centuries it became a popular crop all over Europe. Columbus brought it with him to the New World, starting its spread over the North American continent. Without a doubt, lettuce now holds a place in nearly every garden on the globe.
