description

Organic 'Sucrine' butterhead lettuce is an heirloom variety particularly prized for its finely compact heads, crisp texture, and almost sweet flavor, which works wonders in summer salads. With its dark green foliage, sometimes lightly tinged with red, Lactuca sativa brings a simple and elegant presence to the vegetable garden, while promising fresh and generous harvests. Its thick, blistered, and tightly packed leaves form small, dense, and flavorful heads that are very pleasant to pick and prepare. In the garden, it stands out for its good resistance to high temperatures and bolting, which allows for extended harvests while maintaining beautiful foliage quality. Its cultivation is simple in loose, cool, and well-drained soil, especially when it benefits from bright light without excess. It is also very well suited for small gardens and container growing, where its compact silhouette naturally finds its place. Its freshness, firmness, and sweetness on the palate make it a lettuce of choice for gardeners seeking a balance between hardiness and refinement. It is a reliable, flavorful, and elegant variety, perfect for enriching the vegetable garden with crisp and delicate harvests.
