Lettuce Butterhead Brighton from Thompson & Morgan is a fantastic winter-hardy variety, perfect for planting out in September under a cloche or in a cold greenhouse. Known for its ability to produce crisp, tasty hearts even in the colder months, this lettuce variety is ideal for extending the growing season and providing fresh, homegrown greens during winter. The large, tight hearts are perfect for adding a refreshing crunch to salads, sandwiches, and wraps.

This hardy butterhead lettuce thrives in cooler conditions, making it an excellent choice for autumn planting. The tightly packed heads are a vibrant green and have a delicate, sweet flavour that’s ideal for raw consumption. As a versatile addition to your garden, Butterhead Brighton can be harvested over a long period, giving you fresh, homegrown lettuce when many other varieties have finished for the season.

To grow Lettuce Butterhead Brighton, sow the seeds directly into well-prepared soil in September for winter harvest. The variety does well in cool, sheltered spots, and is best grown under a cloche or in a cold greenhouse to protect it from the frost. Space the seeds around 25-30 cm apart to allow each plant plenty of room to form its tight, full hearts. Regular watering and keeping the soil consistently moist will help the plants thrive, especially as the weather cools.

This lettuce variety offers excellent disease resistance, ensuring that you get a reliable crop throughout the winter. The leaves remain tender and delicious even in lower temperatures, providing the perfect ingredient for those winter salads and fresh sandwiches. With its cold tolerance and extended harvest window, Butterhead Brighton is a great choice for gardeners looking to enjoy fresh greens in the colder months.

Whether you're looking to enjoy crisp, fresh lettuce in winter or simply extend your harvest season, Lettuce Butterhead Brighton is a reliable and tasty addition to your garden. Its resilience and great flavour make it a must-have for those who love homegrown, seasonal produce.
