• Nation’s favourite
• Buttery taste
• Great for growing in small spaces

Lettuce Little Gem is a widely known variety sold in supermarkets, but you can certainly taste the difference when you grow your own. Every plant produces a compact head of buttery, creamy leaves that is clean-tasting and delicious.

Little Gem is fast-growing, making it a perfect contender as a catch-crop while waiting for longer-growing vegetables to mature. This mini variety is perfect for growing in containers and smaller gardens, making it a perfect choice if you’re a green finger gardener who has little green space and loves to grow your own.

For amazing crops of tasty, fresh and healthy produce, harvest during June and October.

HGE62943853369Lettuce – Little Gem

Little Gem romaine lettuce seeds produce small, personal size, mini romaine heads that will fit in the palm of your hand. This variety was popularized as a gourmet heirloom treat in England. These little gems grow to about 4″ in diameter and are best picked when they are 6″ tall. By then they will have developed their tasty and tender blanched hearts. Outer leaves are crisp and firm, semi-savoyed, and vivid green. Plant short rows at regular weekly intervals from April to July for a harvest that doesn’t come all at once. Try some in containers or even window boxes. Winner of the RHS Award of Garden Merit.
