Planting & Care

For best results, sow Buttercrunch lettuce seeds directly in the garden as soon as the soil can be worked in spring, or in late summer for a fall crop. Lettuce prefers cooler temperatures and may bolt in hot weather. Provide consistent moisture and mulch to keep the soil cool. For a continuous harvest, sow seeds every 2-3 weeks. Thin seedlings to the recommended spacing to allow heads to develop properly.

Buttercrunch lettuce is relatively low-maintenance. Keep the area weed-free and water regularly, especially during dry spells. Harvest outer leaves as needed or cut the entire head at the base when mature. Lettuce is best harvested in the morning when leaves are crisp.
