Lettuce 'Tom Thumb' Butter

Lactuca Sativa

One of the original mini lettuces, a true heirloom butterhead introduced to the USA from England in the late 1860’s, just after the Civil War. Medium green, very dense, savoyed leaves that are crunchy and buttery fold into creamy hearts. Makes a perfect split-head salad.

Fast maturing can be densely spaced in early spring plantings for abundant first-to-market heads. For weekly harvests, plan for tightly space successive plantings

Our breeding began with seed preserved by Frank Morton at Wild Garden Seed. We have further selected for uniformity and heat resilience – trying to improve these delicious heads ability to hold in the field.
