Bibb lettuces are native to the United States but are identical in every way to butterhead lettuces, except for their smaller head. The original version is said to have been selected in the mid-19th century by an amateur horticulturist, Major John Bibb of Frankfort, Kentucky. The Buttercrunch cultivar was developed by George Raleigh of Cornell University in Ithaca, New York, in the 1950s and was nationally recognized for its performance by the All-America Selections in 1963.
Very drought-resistant, Buttercrunch bolts late in the season. Its particularly dark green leaves are quite thick and may have red edges. The part of the leaves not exposed to the sun is a pale yellowish-white color. Their crisp and juicy texture is simply delicious! This vigorously growing lettuce can be cultivated in full sun or partial shade and produces loose heads 15 to 20 cm in diameter 50 days after sowing.
Days to harvest: Baby leaves: 30 | Mature leaves: 50
Packet of 400 seeds
