Description

The Red Butterhead is a small red lettuce with a head weight of around 200g. It brings color to the plate very early and enriches the kitchen with its buttery-tender leaves.

Non hybrid

Frostproof

Growing tips

It can be planted quite close together. It is recommended to plant at half the final spacing and gradually harvest every second lettuce as a cut lettuce to extend the harvest period. For overwintering cultivation, direct sowing is carried out at the end of August or planting in mid-October. The top edge of the pots should be flush with the soil. Winter lettuces should overwinter with about eight true leaves. If necessary, protect with thin fleece or straw.
