Giant Heads of Soft, Mellow Flavor
Organic Lettuce Butter King
Very slow to bolt, it's the perfect Bibb for warm climates.
Resistant to Tip Burn!
60 to 65 days. A favorite for more than 40 years, this ultra-adaptable, big-yielding butterhead should be a mainstay of any serious salad lover. The large, pale green leaves are softly textured and so succulent-sweet that even those who turn up their noses at iceberg and other crispheads will not be able to resist the mellow flavor of Butter King!
Very slow to bolt, this lettuce reaches about 8 to 10 inches high and wide, well-packed with delectable leaves. It is highly resistant to tip burn and never bitter, even when hot weather arrives early and it must finish under less than ideal conditions. A great choice for southern climates, it extends the butterhead season by several weeks, and is absolutely tops for flavor.
Butter King was bred in Ottawa in 1966, and is later than many other butterheads. Vigorous and adaptable to a wide range of climates and conditions, it is an essential part of the vegetable patch! And with our Certified Organic seed, you know you are growing the very best, just the way Nature intended. Pkt is 1/32 oz.
