This butterhead lettuce, with its touch of reddish-brown coloring, is another example of why we love butterheads so much. Do you ever eat lettuce fresh while you’re still in the garden? Do you notice that sweet oil it leaves on your lips? I absolutely love it and butterheads are the best at offering it. This is a great variety, forming a deliciously tender head when left to mature. It is bolt-resistant and boasts strong disease-resistance as well. A German heirloom and a descendant of Merveille des Quatre Saisons, this butterhead is a fantastic choice for markets and home gardens alike.
