LETTUCE ‘Buttercrunch’ Butterhead Seeds

Botanical Name: Lactuca sativa

Butterhead ‘Buttercrunch’ Lettuce is one of the most dependable lettuce varieties for home and market gardeners alike. Its compact, rounded heads form soft, buttery outer leaves that surround a crisp, sweet core. Known for its excellent texture and flavour, this variety is prized in salads, wraps, and sandwiches, where it adds a refreshing crunch without bitterness.

Unlike many lettuce varieties that quickly bolt to seed in warm weather, ‘Buttercrunch’ offers superior heat tolerance and strong bolt resistance. This makes it a reliable choice for Australian gardeners across temperate, subtropical, and cool regions. With proper care, it can be sown for much of the year, providing a steady supply of tender leaves.
