'Iceberg' is a name they use to sell a type of lettuce; the varieties involved have other names. They're known to gardeners as the crisphead type, so you want varieties like Webbs Wonderful and All the Year Round.

I know we are sounding a bit mean here but sometimes the price of postage exceeds the value of the seeds for stuff that is commercially available - and if not now, definitely when Royal Mail put their prices RIGHT UP in April.

So it is worth checking ebay for seeds delivered to your door (price of diesel to Wilkos, etc).

Here your go:
