May Queen

Wonderful early spring butterhead to harvest as heads in hoop house. Space well. Bolt prone in heat. Tender, yellow hearts are gently blushed rose, and the leaves are ethereally soft with the buttery sweet flavor signature of an old-fashioned European butterhead type. Manageable medium-sized heads with early maturation and silky soft leaves made this a popular European heirloom during the early 19th century. Collected 2020 at Hobbit Gardens from Baker Creek seed. Dark seed.
