Lettuce - Little Gem (Lactuca sativa) Small Single Serve Romaine Little Gem Non GMO & Organic Vegetable

Annual

Height

One of the best tasting romaine lettuce varieties! Perfect for single serve individual heads! Little Gem is an open pollinated variety which produces smaller, palm sized heads that average around 4 in in diameter. 

  • The heads are best picked when they are 4 inch round and plants are 6" tall, and have developed tender blanched hearts.

  • developed from a romaine variety and a butterhead variety

  • The outer leaves produce a bright green, flavorful, crisp, and firm textured head. 

  • Full sun

  • Lettuce is a cool weather crop and best planted in Spring or Fall. Plant short rows at regular weekly intervals (April to July) for an ongoing productive harvest and have a continuous crop!

  • start seeds indoors about 3 -4 weeks prior to last frost; plant seeds 1/4 in deep or, if surface sown, keep the soil evenly and slightly moist until the seeds germinate. Transplant when all risk of frost has passed.

  • This is a gourmet heirloom variety! Matures in 70 days

  • Harvest: lettuce regrows after leaves are cut or picked off the stem. As long as there is 1-2 inches of stem and leaves at the base, lettuce will shoot new growth in as little as a week. This is called the cut and come again harvesting method.

  • Great for containers and window boxes.
