Speckled Butterhead Lettuce Seeds

Speckled Butterhead (Lactuca sativa) is a heirloom from the early 1800s. This is a gorgeous lettuce: green leaves with reddish speckles and a nice tight central head. Butterheads are our favorite eating lettuce, and Speckled Butterhead is our favorite variety of this kind. The texture of the leaves is a combination of delicate softness and crisp/moist that is unique to butterheads. Speckled is a sweet variety, rarely bitter.
