What great flavour! This classic, medium-green butterhead has a delicate texture and large, firm, 450g (1lb) heads. It is good for spring, summer, and fall plantings; and is resistant to tip burn, bolting, downy mildew and lettuce mosaic virus. Matures in 60 days. (open pollinated seeds)
Butterheads or Boston lettuces have loose outer leaves surrounding pale, slightly oily, loose, soft heads. Bibb types (named after the man who developed them) have a more open centre-like a green rose. Both types make small heads and can be planted 20-25cm (8-10") apart.
