Lettuce - Butterhead - Kagraner Sommer
The Lettuce Butterhead Kagraner Summer, 'Lactuca sativa', is a French butterhead also known as 'Butter Bow Head', and has tasty, well-formed medium sized heads that are slow to bolt in summer heat. The French butterhead was originally from Germany. It is excellent for window boxes, indoor pots, and is a cute border plant. The mild tasting leaves are soft and buttery. The lettuce leaves of the Kagraner Summer Butterhead are slightly crumpled and light green in color. Lettuce is a cool season annual. Successive plantings can produce lettuce spring through fall. Plant in early spring, 3 to 4 weeks before the average last frost date, and successive plantings thereafter every 3 weeks until 5 weeks before fall frost. Lettuce likes light, fertile, moist, and well drained soils. They will grow in light shade. Lettuce grows well near cabbage, beets, carrots, chives, garlic, and onion. ... get more information
