Buttercrunch β€” The Most Popular Butterhead Lettuce, AAS Winner, With Thick Juicy Leaves and a Small Tight Head

Buttercrunch is the most popular of all butterhead lettuce types β€” and for good reason. An All-America Selections (AAS) Winner recommended by Utah State University, it produces compact, loose heads with smooth, soft, tender leaves that are thick, juicy, and deeply satisfying. A small, tight head with excellent flavor and texture, and notably slow to bolt β€” giving you a longer harvest window than most lettuce varieties. Ready in just 65 days. A classic that earns its place in every kitchen garden.
