Buttercrunch Bibb Lettuce is a premium, open-pollinated variety known for its tender, buttery texture and sweet, mild flavor. This popular bibb-type lettuce forms loose, compact heads with soft green leaves and slightly crisp centers, offering the perfect balance of texture and taste.

Ideal for fresh salads, sandwiches, and wraps, Buttercrunch holds its quality longer than many lettuces and shows good resistance to heat and bolting. Its refined flavor and attractive appearance make it a favorite for both home gardens and market growers.
