About This

• Miniature Size, Gourmet Flavor: Little Gem Lettuce is prized for its naturally sweet, non-bitter taste and ultra-tender texture. Each small head measures about 5 inches across, making it perfect for whole-head serving, snack-sized salads, or as a soft wrap for appetizers and finger foods. The flavor is loved by both adults and kids, offering a mild bite that's versatile and refreshingly crisp.
• Perfect Fit for Small Gardens and Containers: With its compact growth habit and neat, upright heads, Little Gem is tailor-made for tight spaces, window boxes, patio containers, and raised beds. It thrives where larger varieties can’t, filling in those hard-to-plant corners of your garden and adding greenery and structure to small plots without sacrificing yield or quality.
• Fast 50-Day Maturity for Quick Harvests: This variety is ideal for gardeners looking for a reliable, quick crop. Little Gem reaches maturity in just 50 days from sowing, allowing for multiple successions throughout the season. You can start harvesting tender baby leaves earlier or let the heads fully form for compact but flavorful harvests that feel like a gourmet treat every time.
• Cool-Weather Favorite with Fall Potential: Little Gem performs best in cooler conditions, making it perfect for early spring or late summer sowing. It can be started indoors for transplanting or sown directly into the garden. Its cold tolerance also makes it an excellent candidate for fall crops in most zones, giving gardeners multiple planting opportunities across the year.
• Kid-Friendly and Visually Appealing: With its miniature size, soft leaves, and mild flavor, Little Gem is a favorite among young gardeners and eaters. Children love harvesting and eating their own bite-sized heads straight from the garden. Its compact, dark green heads also add beauty to edible landscapes, salad gardens, and container arrangements with minimal effort.
