Buttercrunch Butterhead Lettuce Seeds 20000 Non-GMO Garden Seeds

Buttercrunch is a classic butterhead lettuce prized for its tender, buttery-textured leaves and compact, rosette-shaped heads. The outer leaves are a rich green, while the inner heart blanches to a soft, pale yellow-green, making it as attractive in the garden as it is on the plate. This versatile lettuce is a favorite for fresh salads, sandwiches, and wraps, and its mild, sweet flavor appeals to gardeners and home cooks alike.

Buttercrunch performs well in cool-season gardens and is a dependable choice for spring and fall plantings. It grows neatly in garden beds, raised beds, and containers, making it a practical option for both traditional vegetable plots and small-space edible gardens.

Planting & Care

Sow Buttercrunch lettuce seeds directly in the garden or start them indoors for transplanting. For direct sowing, scatter seeds thinly and cover lightly with soil, keeping the surface moist until germination. Thin seedlings to the recommended spacing so plants have room to form full heads. Lettuce prefers cool weather, so time plantings for spring and fall and provide partial shade during warmer periods.

Keep the soil evenly moist but not waterlogged, and mulch lightly to conserve moisture and keep roots cool. Harvest outer leaves as needed or cut entire heads when they reach maturity. Regular watering and weed control help support healthy, tender growth throughout the season.
