Growing Buttercrunch Butterhead Lettuce
Buttercrunch is a premium butterhead variety that delivers exceptional flavor and texture. Known for its crisp, tender leaves and reliable head formation, this lettuce is a favorite among home gardeners who appreciate quality greens with a delicate, buttery taste.
Why Buttercrunch Stands Out
Buttercrunch forms compact, well-defined heads with leaves that are remarkably tender and sweet. The variety is heat-tolerant compared to other butterhead types, making it more forgiving during temperature swings. Its attractive light green color and excellent flavor make it a top choice for fresh salads and gourmet dishes.
Planting Buttercrunch Seeds
Sow Buttercrunch seeds directly into garden beds or start indoors for transplanting. Plant seeds about a quarter inch deep and maintain consistent moisture until germination, which takes 7 to 10 days. Space seedlings 8 to 10 inches apart to allow adequate room for head development. For continuous harvests, succession plant every two to three weeks.
Ideal Growing Conditions
Buttercrunch thrives in cool to moderate temperatures and adapts well to spring and fall planting. It tolerates partial shade, which helps prevent bolting during warmer months. Plant in rich, well-draining soil amended with compost or aged manure. Water regularly to keep soil evenly moist, avoiding both drought stress and waterlogging.
Harvesting Buttercrunch
Begin harvesting outer leaves once the plant is established, or wait for the head to fully mature for a complete harvest. Buttercrunch typically matures in 55 to 65 days. Cut heads in the early morning when leaves are cool and crisp for optimal flavor and shelf life.
Growing Tips for Best Results
Buttercrunch's heat tolerance makes it more reliable than standard butterhead varieties during temperature fluctuations. Provide afternoon shade during hot spells to extend the harvest window. Watch for slugs and aphids, and use row covers if needed. Thin seedlings early to prevent overcrowding and ensure healthy head development.
With its superior taste and reliable performance, Buttercrunch butterhead lettuce is an excellent choice for gardeners seeking consistent, delicious harvests.

OUR PLEDGE TO YOU
Agriculture and seeds provide the basis upon which our lives depend. We must protect this foundation as a safe and genetically stable source for future generations.
For the benefit of all farmers, gardeners and consumers who want an alternative. We pledge to you that we do not knowingly buy or sell genetically engineered seeds or plants. The mechanical transfer of genetic material outside of natural reproductive methods and between genera, families or kingdoms, poses great biological risks as well as economic, political, and cultural threats.
We wish to support agricultural progress that leads to healthier soils, genetically diverse agricultural ecosystems and ultimately healthy people and communities.
We do not buy - OR - grow any seed from large corporations that make Genetically Engineered seeds. We don't touch that stuff and we never will.
The seeds we offer aren't like varieties you'd typically find at a garden center.
Every variety we offer is 100% OP (open-pollinated). Open-pollination means that you can safely save the seed after harvest and preserve a collection of heirloom seed for many generations to come.
To make it perfectly clear ... Our seeds do not contain any exogenously inserted embryogenesis deactivator genes caused by human intervention.
