Grow Organic Heirloom Lettuce - Plant Buttercrunch Lettuce Seeds

1963 "All-America Selections" winner! The aptly named Buttercrunch Lettuce is a classic butterhead lettuce variety that produces a dynamic and delicious taste. Organic Buttercrunch can be planted just about anywhere, but the good news for those in warmer climates is that this variety tends to be far more heat-tolerant than most other lettuce cultivars. A nice firm "head" texture and a slightly buttery taste - yum!

  • Butterhead type lettuce
  • Heat Tolerant
  • Prefers full sun exposure
