I bought these seeds from T&M and have tried 3 sowings (March/April/May) and no germination at all although the other lettuce is fine.
Has anyone tried growing this? I thought it would be an interesting one.......

Where are you trying to germinate them?

[viettaclark]

Seed tray of fresh compost outside on a shelving unit in semi-shade. Other seeds are fine. Is iceberg trickier?

[mumofstig]

not usually.
Yorkie asked for germination details, I think, because lettuce doesn't always germinate if it's hot eg in a greenhouse. Your's sound as if they should be ok, though

I would email the supplier - maybe it was just a bad batch (sound like it after 3 attempts)

[Yorkie]

Yes, I asked about germination in case you were putting them in a heated propagator or similar - but you're not.

Have other seeds done OK in this compost?

If so, I'd go back to the seed company and complain as matt said.
