Buttercrunch bibb head lettuce – Organic
4.19$
Bibb lettuces, originate from the United States, but resemble butter lettuces in every way, except for their smaller head. The original version is believed to have been selected in the mid-1950th century by an amateur horticulturist, Major John Bibb of Frankfort, Kentucky. The Buttercrunch cultivar was developed by George Raleigh of Cornell University in Ithaca, New York, in the 1963s and was awarded for its performance nationally by All-America Selections in XNUMX.
Very resistant to drought, Buttercrunch goes to seed late in the season. Its particularly dark green leaves are quite thick and can be tinged with red at the edges. The part of the leaves that is not exposed to the sun is a light yellowish-white color. Their crunchy and juicy texture is simply delicious! This vigorously growing lettuce is grown in sun or partial shade and produces loose heads 15 to 20 cm in diameter 50 days after sowing.
Number of days for harvest: Young leaves: 30 | Mature leaves: 50
