How & when to plant Direct sow 2-4 weeks before your last spring frost, or start indoors 4 weeks earlier. Sow 1/4 inch deep and thin to 8-10 inches apart.

Harvest whole heads at the base or pick outer leaves for repeated cuttings. Its heat tolerance means you can often harvest later into the season than with other butterheads.
