Description

The buttery classic that set the gold standard for flavor. ‘Buttercrunch’ forms loose, compact heads with crisp outer leaves and a soft, velvety heart that melts in the mouth. The flavor is mild and sweet, with a satisfying texture between crunch and tenderness.

Plants reach 8–10 inches across and show excellent heat tolerance, resisting bolting longer than most butterheads. Ideal for both home and market growers.

Developed by Cornell University in the 1960s, ‘Buttercrunch’ quickly became a favorite for its balance of flavor, texture, and reliability—a true modern heirloom in the lettuce world.
