Bibb, Butterhead Lettuce (Lactuca sativa)
Butterhead lettuces have very loose "heads" with soft, buttery-textured leaves. They have a moderate, soft, and succulent taste to them. The small heads, which vary in colour from pale green to purple-red, are loosely folded in the greenhouse. Gourmet chefs prize our Butterhead Lettuce varieties for their distinct textures and colours.
