To plant butterhead lettuce seeds, select a well-draining location with full sun. Prepare the soil by loosening it and incorporating organic matter. Sow the seeds thinly, about a quarter-inch deep, in rows spaced 12-15 inches apart. Keep the soil consistently moist during germination, which typically takes around 7-10 days, and thin the seedlings to 10-12 inches apart once they have emerged to allow for proper growth and development.
