Lettuce Butterhead Buttercrunch is an All-America Selections (AAS) award-winning variety that has earned its reputation as the most popular butterhead lettuce among serious gardeners and commercial growers alike. This organically grown, non-GMO heirloom produces vibrant green heads with densely packed leaves that develop a mildly sweet, buttery flavor profile unmatched by conventional varieties. The tender, succulent texture and delicate taste make Buttercrunch the preferred choice for fresh salads, composed plates, and culinary applications where lettuce quality directly impacts the final dish. The exceptional cold hardiness of Buttercrunch extends growing seasons in temperate and cooler climates, tolerating temperatures down to 20°F without significant quality loss. This frost tolerance allows spring and fall cultivation in zones where heat-sensitive lettuces struggle, providing fresh harvests during shoulder seasons when market availability is limited. The variety thrives across most USDA zones, making it adaptable to diverse regional growing conditions and climatic variations. Buttercrunch demonstrates remarkable versatility in cultivation methods, performing exceptionally well in traditional soil gardens, raised beds, and hydroponic systems. This adaptability makes it ideal for both conventional and controlled-environment agriculture, allowing gardeners to optimize production methods based on available resources and space constraints. The consistent performance across growing systems ensures reliable yields regardless of cultivation approach. Expect mature, harvestable heads in approximately 55 days from transplanting. Each packet contains 50 organically grown, non-GMO seeds with an 80% or better germination rate. Utah State University recommends this variety for its reliability and performance. David's Garden Seeds® packages these premium seeds in sustainable, environmentally friendly materials that are fully reusable and recyclable, supporting your commitment to ecological stewardship.
