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 shade during hot spells to prolong harvest. Thin seedlings to recommended spacing to allow proper head development.

Harvest outer leaves for a continuous supply, or cut entire heads when they reach full size. Lettuce is a cool-season crop that can be grown in containers on patios or balconies. Regular watering and mulching help keep the soil cool and moist, promoting tender, sweet leaves.
