This lettuce germinates reliably between 60 and 70 degrees Fahrenheit and reaches maturity faster than many competitors. The tight head formation typical of icebergs makes Regency 2.0 excellent for storage and meal prep, and its frost tolerance opens up spring and fall planting windows that many gardeners overlook. Spacing it at just 1 inch initially, then thinning to 12-16 inches between plants, gives you flexibility in small spaces.
As a quintessential iceberg lettuce, Regency 2.0 is at home in crisp salads, sandwiches, and composed plates where its clean crunch and mild flavor provide structure and texture. The tight heads hold their form through handling and transport, making them reliable for meal prep and storage.
No timeline data available yet for this variety.
Start seeds indoors 4-6 weeks before your anticipated transplant date. This gives you established seedlings ready to move into the garden as soil conditions warm.
Transplant seedlings outdoors once they've developed their initial growth, spacing them 12-16 inches apart in rows 16 inches apart. Ensure soil temperature and frost danger align with your region's spring or fall conditions.
Direct sow seeds where you want them to grow. Use row cover to improve germination and prevent soil crusting after sowing.
Regency 2.0 heads are ready to harvest around day 55 from direct sowing. You can harvest individual outer leaves as they mature, allowing inner leaves to continue growing and extending your harvest window. Alternatively, cut the entire plant about 1 inch above the soil, or remove the whole head once it feels firm and compact. Monitor plants daily as they approach maturity, as lettuce eventually becomes bitter once it begins to bolt.
