Butterhead lettuce seeds — soft, sweet hearts

Butterhead lettuce is the loose-hearted type with soft, buttery leaves and a mild, sweet flavour — the group that includes Buttercrunch, Bibb and Tom Thumb. It sits within our wider lettuce range, part of the leafy greens collection. New to growing? Our vegetable growing guide covers the basics.

Sow little and often for a steady supply of soft hearts — the calendar shows the windows.

How to grow butterhead lettuce

Sow thinly direct or in modules into cool, moist soil, and keep it watered to stop bolting in warm spells. Cut the whole loose heart, or pick outer leaves as you go. Botanically it is Lactuca sativa.

Pair it with other salad leaves

For crunch, grow upright romaine; for fast pickings, loose-leaf salad mixes. Browse all lettuce and vegetable seeds.
