Botanical Interests Organic Butterhead Buttercrunch Lettuce Seeds

'Buttercrunch' is a vigorous grower with a creamy yellow interior, buttery flavor, and melt-in-your-mouth texture, pleasing palates since 1963. Small heads are perfect for a single-serve salad. Harvest as baby greens in just 21 days. The compact size makes it a good container variety, and it's also attractive in the flower-garden border. This packet sows up to 91 feet.

Sowing Information:

  • Light: Full sun to part shade
  • When to Start Inside: 4 to 6 weeks before your average last frost date, and in summer when soil temperatures are too warm (above 80°F) to germinate lettuce seed.
  • When to Sow Outside: RECOMMENDED. 2 to 4 weeks before your average last frost date, and when soil temperature is at least 40°F, ideally 60°-70°F.
  • Seed Depth: Surface to 1/8"
  • Seed Spacing: A group of 3 seeds every 6"
  • Row Spacing: 8"
  • Thinning: When 1/2" tall, thin to 1 every 6"
  • Days to Germinate: 5-10 days
  • Days to Maturity: 21-65 days

Growing Notes:

  • Harvesting: Harvest in the morning, by cutting off at ground level. If regrowth is desired, cut the leaves higher, at 2". For a continual supply, outer, individual leaves can be harvested at any stage of maturity, but leave at least half of the plant for regrowth.
  • Variety Info: Glossy, tightly-wrapped, upright, green leaves with a pale, creamy-yellow heart. Crisp texture with sweet, nutty flavor.



"It was our third class at Bath Garden Center. It's always so much fun for me and my kids. Everybody is very friendly and it's always very fun. We'll keep going to your classes. Highly recommend!"

"Every time I walk into Bath I’m greeted by the kindest and most helpful people! Additionally they have a fantastic selection of everything you can think of! (I’ve even bought clothing and jewelry here! It’s much more than just a nursery). Today I had the good fortune of being greeted and helped by Wyatt. I went in with absolutely no idea what to do with my garden spaces…they’re huge and overwhelming. I showed Wyatt photos of my spaces and jokingly asked Wyatt if he could just design my spaces for me….and he replied “yes!”….he took me around, asked what I liked, told me how to mix color, grasses and heights, etc…he was a wealth of info and help! I’m so grateful and I love how it all turned out! Thank you, Bath, for having great products, and a special BIG shoutout to Wyatt! You are awesome!!! (Also, Wyatt should get a bonus because I walked out with 22 perennials😂)."

"No matter what I am at Bath for, there are always helpful employees to help me find what I need or tips on how to care for indoor or outdoor plants. They also carry pots, trellises, soil, and interesting plants of all kinds! I was also pleasantly surprised to find compost worms available for purchase without a special preorder. Thank you for being awesome!"
