Bibb Butterhead Lettuce Seeds 1g | Lactuca sativa Heirloom Non-GMO

Bibb Butterhead Lettuce is a classic heirloom variety prized for its small, compact rosettes of soft, buttery-green leaves. Its sweet, tender texture and mild flavor make it a favorite for fresh salads, sandwiches, and wraps, and the loose heads are easy to harvest leaf by leaf or as a whole head. This non-GMO heirloom lettuce is a dependable choice for kitchen gardens, raised beds, and container growing.

Bibb lettuce grows quickly and stays compact, making it well suited to small spaces, patio pots, and succession plantings throughout the cooler parts of the season. Its attractive, cup-shaped leaves also work well as edible garnishes or lettuce cups for serving.

Planting & Care

Sow Bibb lettuce seeds shallowly, about 1/8 inch deep, and keep the soil consistently moist until germination. Lettuce germinates best in cool conditions, so start seeds in early spring or late summer for a fall crop. Thin seedlings to give each plant room to form a compact head, and provide partial shade during warmer weather to help prevent bolting.

Water regularly to keep leaves tender and avoid stress, and mulch lightly to retain soil moisture. Harvest outer leaves as needed or cut whole heads when mature. For a steady supply, sow small batches every few weeks during cool growing periods.
