Little Caesar Lettuce
Growing Little Caesar Lettuce
‘Little Caesar’ is an open-pollinated lettuce prized for its compact heads, crisp bite, and sweet flavor. Plants reach about 10 to 15 inches tall, with bright green outer leaves surrounding golden-blanched inner foliage. A mature head is conveniently sized for a small household meal.
Plant ‘Little Caesar’ seeds about ⅛ inch deep and space plants 6 to 12 inches apart. Germination typically takes 2 to 10 days. This cold-tolerant variety is especially well suited to containers and smaller gardens and performs beautifully when planted in spring and again in fall.
Ready to harvest in about 70 days, cut full heads at maturity or harvest individual leaves earlier for a more tender crop.
Sweet, crisp, and compact, ‘Little Caesar’ is excellent for Caesar salads, sandwiches, wraps, and fresh eating.
