Buttercrunch forms tight, crisp hearts wrapped in satiny outer leaves—sweet, crunchy, and slow to bolt. An AAS winner from 1963, it holds texture in heat better than many butterheads. Great for wraps and salads alike. Provide fertile, moist soil and sow in spring or late summer for best quality. Harvest whole heads or pick outer leaves. If you like lettuce with both crunch and flavor, Buttercrunch earns its name.

How to Grow

Plant seeds directly into the garden starting 4 weeks before average last frost date or as soon as the soil can be worked. You can also start seeds indoors 2-4 weeks before transplanting. Optimum soil temperature for seed germination is 50-70 degrees. Lettuce seed does not germinate well if soil temperature is above 80 degrees. Resume planting in late summer for a fall harvest. Lettuce is cold tolerant and will tolerate light to moderate frosts. Succession plantings every at 2 weeks intervals will provide a steady supply.
