Blushed Butter Oak - Head Lettuce
This cold-hardy variety produces wavy, broadly lobed foliage, similar to "Oak Leaves", with a bronze-tinged green surrounding a tender heart. Its leaves offer a juicy texture and delicate flavor.
It was developed by Frank Morton from crosses between "Butterhead" and "Feuilles de Chêne" cutting types.

Sow in pots or slabs at a temperature of 10-18°C, one month before planting. Cover the seeds with a thin layer of soil, press lightly and water. Once the plants have 4 leaves, prick out. Alternatively, sow lightly, directly into the ground, every 15 days for better staggered harvests, then thin out. This type of sowing produces hardier plants, less susceptible to bolting.
