Ultimate Crispness: Vanda Inter Seeds Frillice Iceberg Lettuce

Elevate your fresh produce offerings with the gourmet quality of Vanda Inter Seeds Frillice Iceberg Lettuce. Recognized by its deeply incised, spiky-looking leaves, Frillice Iceberg is a hybrid variety that captures the very best traits of traditional iceberg and frisée lettuces. It delivers a remarkable crunch and a sweet, refreshing flavor that never turns bitter, making it a highly requested item for premium salads, sandwich stacks, and burger garnishes. For the professional grower, this variety commands top-tier market prices and stands out on any retail display.

Tropical Resilience and Hydroponic Excellence: Growing crisphead-style lettuces in hot climates often leads to tip-burn, bolting, or bitter flavors. The Vanda Frillice Iceberg is genetically selected to overcome these tropical challenges. It features outstanding heat tolerance and a robust cellular structure that prevents tip-burn even under intense lighting and temperature fluctuations. The compact, upright growth habit maximizes space efficiency and keeps the lower leaves clean, making it an exceptionally high-performing crop for both commercial hydroponic setups and raised-bed soil agriculture.

Key Characteristics:

• Superior Crunch: Thick, deeply serrated leaves provide a loud, satisfying crunch that lasts even when dressed in salads.
• Sweet & Bitter-Free: Reliably produces a mild, sweet flavor profile regardless of minor heat stress.
• High Market Value: The unique, voluminous shape and vibrant green color create a premium visual appeal for high-end buyers.
• Versatile Cultivation: Thrives equally well in nutrient film technique (NFT), deep water culture (DWC), and traditional soil beds.

Professional Planting & Care:

1. Nursery Management: Sow seeds shallowly in fine peat moss or hydroponic starter sponges. Maintain consistent moisture and provide adequate light to prevent leggy seedlings. Germination typically occurs in 3–5 days.
2. Transplanting & Spacing: Transplant at 14–20 days. In soil, space plants 25–30 cm apart on well-draining, compost-enriched beds. In hydroponic systems, transfer to net cups with adequate spacing to accommodate the voluminous leaf spread.
3. Watering & Nutrition: Frillice thrives on consistent hydration. For soil, water evenly without waterlogging. For hydroponics, maintain an EC of 1.2–1.6 and a pH of 5.8–6.2. Ensure adequate calcium and magnesium uptake to support the thick, crisp leaf structure.
4. Harvesting: Harvest at 45–50 days. Pick early in the morning when the leaves are fully turgid to lock in maximum crispness and post-harvest shelf life.
