1000 Seeds Bronze Mignonette Butterhead Lettuce

Bronze Mignonette is a butterhead lettuce known for its compact rosette of tender, buttery leaves shaded in a distinctive bronze-red that deepens with cool weather. The plants form small, self-blanching heads with a mild, sweet flavor and a soft, melt-in-the-mouth texture that makes them a favorite for fresh salads and garnishes.

This variety is well suited to garden beds, raised planters, and containers, where its colorful foliage adds ornamental value alongside its culinary use. It grows steadily in cool conditions, tolerates light frost, and can be harvested as a whole head or leaf-by-leaf for a cut-and-come-again supply. Succession sowing every two to three weeks helps maintain a continuous harvest through spring and fall.
