Red Butterhead
Planting Red Butterhead seeds in your garden is a great idea for several reasons. Firstly, Red Butterhead lettuce is a delicious and nutritious leafy green that is packed with vitamins and minerals, making it a healthy addition to your diet. It's rich in vitamin A, vitamin K, and folate, as well as several other important nutrients.
Secondly, Red Butterhead lettuce is incredibly easy to grow, making it an ideal choice for gardeners of all skill levels. It grows well in a wide range of soil types and climates and can be grown both indoors and outdoors. Plus, it's a relatively fast-growing crop, meaning you'll be able to enjoy your harvest in just a few weeks.
Another benefit of planting Red Butterhead seeds is that they can add a pop of vibrant color to your garden. The leaves of the plant are a rich shade of red, which can provide a striking contrast to other greens in your garden and add visual interest to your space.
But that's not all - Red Butterhead lettuce is also incredibly versatile in the kitchen. It has a sweet, buttery flavor that pairs well with a wide range of ingredients, and it can be used in everything from salads and sandwiches to soups and stews.

We grow with the seasons! So in most climates, you will be able to grow year round. Typically most lettuce can handle the cooler temperatures and tend to look for the shade in the hotter temperatures.
You want to be aware of the extreme temperature ranges in your region. If you follow the guidelines below, you will be safe:
COLD CLIMATES
- If you live in a location where the temperatures dip below freezing, then you will want to wait until night temperatures are in the 40's consistently.
- On the occasional dips into the 30's, you can cover with a sheet or bring them indoors for that time period. The breeze is good for plants and helps to keep bugs at bay so growing outdoors is optimal.
WARM CLIMATES:
- If you live where it reaches above 90 degrees consistently, you'll want to grow heat tolerant fruiting plants (tomatoes and peppers) and herbs (basil, mint, rosemary) primarily.
To find out what extreme temperatures your location experiences, check out the USDA zone for your region.
We always ship our organic seedlings at their peak for transplant which means they can be held before shipping. We typically ship plants according to the following schedule:
CA - ship Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays.
US states outside of CA - ship Mondays and Tuesdays.
Outside of US - we do not currently ship outside of the US.
For more information, refer to our shipping policy.
Don't worry we tend to over-communicate the details when it comes to logistics. You'll know when orders (both seedlings and other garden products) are shipped.
