Blushed Butter Oak Lettuce

Blushed Butter Oak Lettuce is a beautiful open-pollinated variety that combines the buttery texture of butterhead lettuce with the deeply lobed leaves of oakleaf types. Its tender green leaves are delicately blushed with rosy-red tips, creating an eye-catching addition to salads and garden beds alike.

Slow to bolt and quick to mature, Blushed Butter Oak produces compact, loose heads with a mild, sweet flavor and crisp, succulent texture. Harvest whole heads or pick individual leaves for a continuous supply of fresh, gourmet-quality lettuce throughout the cool growing season.

• Type: Open-pollinated annual
• Direct sow: 2–4 weeks before the last spring frost through early fall
• Sun: Full sun to partial shade
• Spacing: 8–10 inches
• Height: 6–8 inches
• Days to harvest: 45–55 days

Lettuce thrives in cool weather and fertile, well-drained soil. Sow seeds directly outdoors, keeping the soil consistently moist for even germination. For a continuous harvest, sow every 2–3 weeks during the growing season. Harvest outer leaves as needed or cut the entire head once it reaches full size. Providing afternoon shade in warmer weather will help delay bolting and extend the harvest.
