Days to Maturity: 65

All-America Selections (AAS) Winner 1963

One of the classic butterheads, Buttercrunch combines good garden performance with tender-crisp flavor. The leaves are very dark green and thicker than most, with a crisp texture and juicy bite. They are loosely held on big heads that grow more vigorously than many others, ready in just 65 days.

A classic favorite for high-quality flavor. So high-performing and satisfying that it won an AAS award, Buttercrunch is the highest-quality eating butterhead-type we know.

Lettuce thrives in cold weather and can be sown directly into the garden, starting in early spring. For an even earlier harvest, sow indoors; the seedlings don't mind transplanting. If a fall crop is desired, begin in late summer. Grow in single rows, plants spaced 18 inches apart, or in containers.
