Does anyone know where I can obtain "bitter lettuce" seeds? It is not Arugula or Dandelion. Last time seen in my husband's grandmother's garden 10 years ago. She got them from Croatia.

"Bitter lettuce" is either Lactuce virosa, L. canadennis, L. serriola its a wild lettuce..... called divlja salata or otrovna locika in Croatan or laktouke e toxike in Greek.

Common garden lettuce is less bitter than wild lettuce

Many of the wild lettuce are used in/as a medicinal herb. that is were I would look for seed
