Among the very first to arise, it resists bolting, giving you an especially long season of delectable eating. The large, erect leaves are deep red at the ruffled tips, shading into a bronzy-maroon and finally becoming green toward the base.
A great source of rich color for the salad bowl, they are high-quality eating, with a soft texture and buttery flavor that appeals to all ages.
Lettuce thrives in cold weather and can be sown directly into the garden, starting in early spring. For an even earlier harvest, sow indoors; the seedlings don't mind transplanting.
If a fall crop is desired, begin in late summer. Grow in single rows, plants spaced 18 inches apart, or in containers.
65 days. Love fresh garden lettuce but hate dealing with that tiny seed and struggling to make even rows (which then have to be thinned)? Well, this seed tape is the answer! You literally lay it down on top of the soil where you want the plants to grow, cutting it to fit the space and arranging it in any pattern you like. Then rake or sprinkle about a half inch of soil on top of the tapes and water them in well. That's it -- in a few weeks you'll see evenly-spaced, healthy green shoots that need no thinning! And with this Lettuce Buttercrunch, you can make new sowings every week all spring and fall, for months of delicious fresh eating!With the 15 feet of seed tape in this package, you will have a planting that looks like it was designed and grown by a professional -- in less time that it would take you to make all the holes in the soil, let alone drop the seeds in, cover them up, and then thin the seedlings a few weeks later! And Buttercrunch is a scrumptious Lettuce -- a Butterhead (Boston) type with thick, crunchy leaves that give you a satisfying bite! Ready to harvest in just 65 days, it's a delicious crop that has never been so easy to sow all season long!Contains 15 feet of seed tape.
