Tom Thumb Butterhead Lettuce:
The Lettuce Butterhead Tom Thumb, 'Lactuca sativa', has compact, sweet, tender, buttery heads that are perfect size for individual salads. This English heirloom, gourmet variety is a great lettuce for window boxes, indoor pots, and is a cute border plant. The mild and crunchy leaves are soft and buttery and not crunchy.
