Lettuce, 'Buttercrunch' - Lactuca sativa

'Buttercrunch' is a beloved heirloom butterhead lettuce prized for its velvety texture, compact rosettes, and exceptional flavor. It forms loose heads with thick, crisp outer leaves and tender, sweet inner hearts that truly live up to the "butter€� in its name. A standout in both home gardens and market farms, 'Buttercrunch' is reliable, bolt-resistant, and well-suited for spring and fall harvests.

With its ability to tolerate a bit more heat than other lettuces and its attractive, neatly layered shape, this variety is perfect for raised beds, containers, or interplanting in edible landscapes. Delicious, productive, and easy to grow-there's a reason this one has stood the test of time.

Key Characteristics

  • Sweet, Tender, and Buttery Leaves
    Forms a loose head with soft green outer leaves and a tight, blanched center. Excellent for fresh salads, sandwiches, and lettuce wraps. The texture is smooth, and the flavor is mild and nutty.
  • Bolt-Resistant and Heat-Tolerant (for a Lettuce!)
    More tolerant of warm conditions than most varieties. Slow to bolt, making it a good choice for extended harvest in late spring and early summer.
  • Quick-Growing and Great for Succession Planting
    Ready to harvest baby leaves in just 25-30 days, or full heads in 50-60 days. Sow every 2-3 weeks for a steady supply of fresh greens.
  • Ideal for Small Spaces and Raised Beds
    Grows into a neat, compact rosette about 6-10 inches wide. Perfect for container gardens, tight rows, or as a green understory layer in polycultures.
  • Cool-Season Crop with Spring or Fall Bloom Time (if Bolting)
    When allowed to flower, lettuce sends up a tall stalk with small yellow blooms, typically in late June-August depending on sowing time and climate.
