Buttercrunch Butterhead Type Lettuce Heirloom Vegetable SeedsThis is a popular green butterhead lettuce cultivar. Plants are compact so it is a great choice for growing in containers. This is a butterhead type lettuce meaning it will form a loose compact head with soft lettuce leaves. Outer leaves are vibrant green while the center are more of a creamy yellow color. I like to harvest each individual leaf as needed so it will keep growing and producing more leaves. You can harvest the entire head if preferred. I add a big handful of blood meal in the planting hole and that is the only time I fertilize. Blood meal is high in nitrogen and helps any type of leafy greens to grow an abundance of leaves with saturated color.
