Lettuce- Buttercrunch

Lactuca sativa

 Buttercrunch lettuce is known for its smooth texture and flavor, with small, loose leaves.  It is part of the larger Butterhead lettuce family and considered one of the easiest lettuce varieties to grow. This Buttercrunch lettuce is heat-resistant, quick to germinate and slow to bolt, which means less bitter yields. Plant 10-12 inches apart from Fall through Spring. I'm reading that it can be grown year-round in the Tropics, but I do not personally have any experience with this yet.

  • “My live plants were packed like they belonged in Ft Knox. 😂 They really were packed beautifully. Only one plant, a bee balm, is questionable but signs that it will recover are happening. All in all I am thrilled with my plants and seeds. Some of my coreopsis have already sprouted!”

  • “I’ve ordered seeds from Whitwam Organics 3 or 4 times now. I love the simple packaging, clear planting guidelines, and variety they offer. Great germination rates!! The bare root plants I’ve ordered have come healthy, so healthy that the wild rabbits always approve of my menu upgrades! 😂🐰”
