Prizehead Lettuce – The Show-Stopping Heirloom Giant with Ruffled Bronze Leaves and an Unbeatable Sweet Crunch
Shop the highest quality Prizehead Lettuce seeds for a garden that looks like a prize-winner. Don't let the name fool you—this isn't a "head" lettuce, but rather a massive, loose-leaf producer that is the "Big Kahuna" of texture and color. Prizehead is famous for its large, lime-green leaves that are heavily ruffled and tinged with a beautiful bronze-red at the tips. At The Seed Guy, we recommend this variety because it offers a unique combination of a crisp, refreshing crunch and a remarkably sweet flavor that never turns bitter, even as the plants mature.
In the garden, Prizehead is a fast-growing powerhouse. It fills out a garden bed beautifully with its voluminous, decorative leaves, making it a favorite for both traditional vegetable rows and edible landscaping. It is a fantastic companion plant for radishes and carrots, and because it is slow to bolt, it extends your harvest window well into the early summer. Whether you are using it as a base for a hearty salad or a crisp addition to a sandwich, Prizehead delivers consistent quality. At The Seed Guy, our seeds are tested for elite germination and vibrant color, ensuring your harvest is always worthy of a blue ribbon.

Prizehead Lettuce Planting Instructions:
1. When to Plant: Sow as soon as the soil can be worked in spring. Prefers soil temperatures between 45-75°F. Perform a second sowing in late summer.
2. Preparation: Choose a spot with partial shade if planting during warmer months. Soil should be loose and well-draining.
3. Sowing: Press seeds lightly into the soil surface. They require light to sprout. Keep the area moist but not waterlogged.
4. Care: Prizehead grows quickly and requires consistent moisture to maintain its sweet flavor. Use mulch to help regulate soil temperature.
5. Pests and Diseases: Because Prizehead grows so large and ruffled, it can be a favorite for slugs and snails. Using organic slug bait or copper tape around raised beds can help. Its fast growth habit usually helps it outpace most diseases, but practicing crop rotation—not planting lettuce in the same spot two years in a row—will keep your soil healthy and disease-free.
