Butterhead. Renowned for its sweet taste. Early and quick to mature, with very compact, solid hearts.
Sow & Grow:
Outdoors: sow thinly, March-July where they are to crop, 1.5cm (½") deep, directly into finely-prepared, fertile, moisture-retentive soil, which has already been watered. Allow 25cm (10") between rows.
Early sowings may benefit from cloche protection. Seedlings usually appear in 7-14 days. Thin out to 15cm (6") apart. Water well until plants are established.
Regular sowings, made every two to three weeks, will ensure a continuous supply.
