Growing Instructions

Starting your seeds

You can start Butterhead Lettuce seeds indoors using a heat mat to encourage germination. Once the seedlings sprout and grow a few sets of leaves, move them outdoors. Keep the soil moist and provide 6–8 hours of sunlight daily. When direct sowing Butterhead Lettuce seeds, plant them about 1/4 inch deep in well-drained soil, spacing them 8–12 inches apart to give them plenty of room to grow.

Harvesting your seeds

To harvest butterhead lettuce cut the entire head at the base when the leaves are full and formed. Alternatively, you can pick individual leaves as needed. Ensure to harvest before the plant bolts to prevent bitterness in the leaves.
