White Boston Lettuce is a light green butterhead with a delicious buttery-yellow heart. White Boston Lettuce grows higher off the ground, so the bottom leaves do not rot. White Boston Lettuce goes back over 100 years and is the improved version of Big Boston Lettuce. White Boston Lettuce is a great pick for butterhead lettuce. The leaves are light green with mild ruffling and a classic mild, buttery flavor. The firm, 12-inch round heads sit up off the ground for a cleaner pick.
