Frequently Asked Questions

Butterhead is a general category of head lettuce known for soft, tender leaves and a buttery texture. Buttercrunch is a specific, popular cultivar within the butterhead family that was developed to be slightly crunchier and more heat-tolerant while maintaining the signature buttery flavor.

Yes, you can use the "cut-and-come-again" method. Gently harvest the outer leaves as needed when they reach a usable size, leaving the central crown intact so the plant continues producing new leaves.

Lettuce tends to bolt (go to seed and turn bitter) when exposed to hot temperatures above 80°F. To prevent bolting, plant early in the spring or late in the summer for a fall harvest, provide afternoon shade during hot days, and keep the soil consistently cool and moist.
