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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth Habit:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eCompact, rounded heads\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDays to Maturity:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e55–65 days for full heads, earlier for baby leaves\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlavour:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eMild, sweet, buttery with a crisp heart\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePollination:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eSelf-pollinating, though usually harvested before flowering\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBest Use:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eFresh salads, sandwiches, and cut-and-come-again harvesting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSowing Information\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSowing Depth:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e3–5 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGermination Time:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e7–14 days at 10–22°C\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpacing:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e20–25 cm between plants; 30 cm between rows\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePosition:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eFull sun to part shade in fertile, well-drained soil\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoil:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eRich, organic matter improves leaf tenderness and yield\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFeeding:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eApply compost, liquid seaweed, or a balanced fertiliser fortnightly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e1 x Qty = 1 x Seed packet, containing a minimum of 100 seeds\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNon-hybrid, open-pollinated\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo chemical treatment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNon GMO\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePrice includes postage\u003cbr\u003eAvailable only from this website. \u003cbr\u003eAll rights reserved\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSingle purchased seed orders will be sent by regular untracked mail. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e","brand":"VasilisGarden","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48485048549559,"sku":"LBHSEEDS","price":3.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0608\/1386\/9239\/files\/lettuce-butterhead-attraction-closeup.jpg?v=1779415725","url":"https:\/\/vasilisgarden.com\/products\/lettuce-butterhead-seeds","provider":"Vasili's Garden","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
