Sow Buttercrunch lettuce seeds directly in the garden as soon as the soil can be worked in spring, or start indoors 4–6 weeks before the last frost. Plant seeds about 1/4 inch deep and keep the soil evenly moist until germination. Thin seedlings to the recommended spacing to allow heads to develop properly. For a continuous harvest, sow seeds every 2–3 weeks during cool weather.

Provide consistent moisture and mulch to keep the soil cool. Buttercrunch lettuce benefits from partial shade in warmer climates to prevent bolting. Harvest outer leaves as needed or cut entire heads when mature. With proper care, you can enjoy fresh, tender lettuce from your garden.
