About this variety
Machine-translated, may contain errors.
A modern, self-seeding variety with large, round, very delicate leaves that are especially good raw in salads. ‚Butterflay’ shows good resistance to powdery mildew, which eases cultivation for you in damp early springs. It is suitable for sowing in spring as well as in autumn and yields abundant leaf mass. From the best plants you can collect seed yourself.
Mild and especially delicate, without a bitter note. The thin leaves are a pleasure raw in salads, but they collapse noticeably when steamed.
