Grow Crisp, Sweet Little Gem Lettuce Seeds in Your Garden

Discover the perfect blend of crunch and sweetness with Little Gem Lettuce Seeds. A delightful cross between butterhead and romaine, this variety offers the best of both worlds. Compact, tender leaves with a satisfying crispness. Ideal for individual salads, sandwiches, or gourmet dishes, Little Gem stands out for its exceptional flavor and texture.

Why Choose Little Gem Lettuce Seeds?

Sweet & Crunchy: Enjoy romaine’s crisp bite with the buttery sweetness of a butterhead, all in a compact, 8" head perfect for single servings.

Heat-Tolerant & Slow to Bolt: Unlike other lettuces, Little Gem thrives in warm weather, making it a reliable choice for spring, summer, and fall harvests.

Fast & Easy to Grow: Ready in just 50 days for full heads or 4 weeks for baby greens, it’s one of the quickest and most rewarding crops for gardeners of all levels.

How to Grow Little Gem Lettuce

Plant these open-pollinated, heirloom, Non-GMO seeds directly in garden soil as early as 2 weeks before the last frost. Sow 1/4" deep, thin to 10" apart, and keep soil moist for germination in 5-10 days. For continuous harvests, plant every 3 weeks or in late summer for a fall crop.

Harvest & Enjoy Your Homegrown Lettuce

Pick leaves young for tender baby greens, harvest outer leaves as needed, or cut the whole head at the base. Little Gem’s thick, juicy leaves stay sweet, never bitter -  whether eaten fresh, grilled, or sautéed. Plus, it’s packed with vitamins (C, K, folate) and minerals (calcium, magnesium, potassium).

Each packet contains 500 seeds - enough to plant a 60' row with 72 plants. Start your gourmet garden today with these Little Gem Lettuce Seeds and savor the freshest salads straight from your backyard!
