Butter Crunch Lettuce seeds. Buttercrunch was developed by George Raleigh of Cornell University and is an All-American Selection winner for 1963. It was the gold standard for butterhead lettuce for years.
Butterhead lettuces are sought after for their "buttery" flavor and velvety texture. Butterhead lettuce has soft, green, slightly curled leaves wrapped around a loose inner head of blanched, sweet flavored interior leaves. Butterhead lettuce is more resistant to heat, thus bolting less than other butterhead lettuces. It stays mild long after others become bitter.
Growing Butter Crunch Lettuce
- For an early start, Butter Crunch Lettuce Seeds can be started in flats 4 weeks prior to the last frost and transplanted outdoors in mid to late spring.
- Sow seed 1/8 inch deep, 1 inch apart in rows 12 to 18 inches apart.
- When plants have two or three true leaves, thin to 12-inch spacings for crisphead varieties, 6 to 10 inches for other types.
- You can also lightly broadcast seed (particularly of looseleaf varieties) in a patch instead of a row.
- Lettuce has a shallow root system. Keep soil moist to keep plants growing continuously. Mulch to retain moisture and suppress weeds.
- Lettuce is tolerant of a wide range of soils, but prefers well-drained, cool, loose soil with plentiful moisture and pH 6.2 to 6.8.
