Wayahead Butterhead Lettuce

65 to 80 days — The medium-sized plants of ‘Wayahead’ produce compact buttery heads of savoyed, vibrant green leaves with tender, cream colored hearts. An exceptionally early variety that thrives best when grown as a cool season crop for Spring or Fall harvests. Like many lettuce varieties, it can become bitter in hot weather. 

Also known as ‘Way-A-Head’ and ‘Burpee’s Wayahead’, it was originally developed and introduced by W. Atlee Burpee Co. in 1908. Each packet contains one gram, which is approximately 500 to 600 seeds.
