Yugoslavian Red Lettuce ORGANIC Butterhead Non-GMO Heirloom Seeds 2025

YUGOSLAVIAN RED LETTUCE is an heirloom from Europe. Succulent buttery red tinged leaves form heads 10" across. Really "buttery" sweet flavor. One of my all-time favorites! Butterhead. 40-50 days. 100 seeds.

GROWING TIPS: Lettuces are my absolute favorite - I dedicate a lot of space to them in my garden because I like variety and they can be really beautiful kissed by the sun. Direct sow in early spring and late summer. The more space each lettuce has to grow the larger it becomes. If you are sowing for quick greens, don't bother to thin - just use your scissors to clips what you need for dinner as it will continue to grow. Lettuces love cool (not cold) weather and respond to well-prepared soil and regular weeding and watering. Relatively pest-free, with the exception of slugs (easily combatted with a barrier of ashes or copper wire) and furry invaders (chicken ware cloches work best there).
