Notes
Buttercrunch lettuce (Lactuca sativa 'Buttercrunch (Bibb)') is a vegetable for food gardens, containers, and low maintenance planting. It is typically grown as an annual. It shrugs off cool spells and light frost, though a hard freeze will damage it. This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist soil of most types. It grows rapidly and forms an erect plant, so you can harvest it soon after planting.
Pairs well with Dill, Garlic, and Candy carrot.
