Key Characteristics and Growth Habits
This butterhead lettuce variety is characterized by its thick, juicy leaves that form a loose, upright head. Unlike some varieties that become bitter quickly, this type maintains a mild, sweet flavor profile even as the plant matures. The plant is engineered for resilience, showing increased tolerance to warmer temperatures, which helps prevent the common issue of premature bolting.
Cultivation Guidelines
- Planting Depth: Sow seeds approximately 1/8 to 1/4 inch deep in well-draining soil.
- Spacing: Thin seedlings to 8-10 inches apart to allow for adequate air circulation and head development.
- Sunlight Requirements: Thrives in full sun to partial shade; partial shade is recommended in regions with high afternoon temperatures.
- Harvesting: Leaves can be harvested individually as needed or the entire head can be cut once it reaches maturity, typically within 60-70 days.
By providing consistent moisture and nutrient-rich soil, gardeners can maximize the yield of this productive lettuce variety. Its compact size makes it an efficient choice for small-scale gardens, raised beds, and container setups.
