Growing Information

Growing Little Gem Lettuce

‘Little Gem’ is a classic heirloom romaine lettuce prized for its miniature size, crisp texture, and thick blanched heart. Compact green heads provide the satisfying crunch of romaine in a convenient single-serving size.

Start ‘Little Gem’ indoors for transplanting. Plant seeds about ¼ inch deep and space plants about 7 inches apart in rows roughly 2 feet apart. Grow in full sun to partial shade. This cold-tolerant variety is also well suited to containers.

Ready to harvest in about 33 days, cut the compact heads once they reach the desired size or pick younger leaves for an earlier harvest.

Crisp, compact, and flavorful, ‘Little Gem’ is excellent for fresh eating, salads, lettuce cups, and sandwiches.

Fantastic!

I grow little gem lettuce every year. It is my favorite lettuce. It does well in the spring in KS. Its has a slightly sweet mellow flavor. I also like butter lettuce and will grow it along with little gem this year. The seeds are available just about everywhere. Look for it and give it a try.

Little gem lettuce

excellent product, grows well, tolerates heat some, and i order it every year, let some go to seed even so i know when the soil is warm enough to begin planting hardier stuff in the spring

Purchased for a second time

I grew this lettuce in my greenhouse last year and ate little gem salads for several months. I purchased another packet this year and so far every seed has germinated. Would recommend for a tasty salad!
