We are the real "The Gardening World" - Ships in 1-2 Business days
Direct sowing is recommended as soon as the ground can be worked
Annual. 65 days. 6-12" height. 8-10" spacing
Plant seeds ½ inch deep
Your rows of plants should be 12 to 15 inches across.
Sowing: Buttercrunch Butterhead lettuce seeds grow well in cool weather, so the first crop can be direct sown when the soil temperature reaches at least 35 degrees F, or as soon as the soil can be worked.
If the soil temperature rises above 75 degrees F, the seeds become dormant. Direct sow the seed in rich soil and full sun, spreading them as thinly as possible in rows 1-2' apart; when the seedlings begin to grow, thin them to a distance of 8-12".
Succession crops can be grown for fresh lettuce all season in areas with cool summers or warm winters; this is accomplished by planting a new crop every 2 weeks.
For companion planting benefits, grow lettuce with onions, cucumbers, or carrots.
All multiple orders of the same seed are put in the same bag. For example if you order 500 beefsteak tomato seeds x 3 then 1500 seeds will be put in the same bag. We do not send out 3 individual bags with 500 in each. This goes for all seeds unless they are listings of different seeds
