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.
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.
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.
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!
These lettuce seeds all sprouted very quickly, I had to thin them quite a bit. Excited to try this Little Gem variety, it sounds delicious! I have them growing in my cold frame right now, they have a couple small leaves, I'm sure they'll take off in January/February and we'll have lettuce out the wazoo.
I grew some Little Gems his summer and they did hold up quite well in the heat, although I did have them growing in partial shade. Very crunchy leaves, they make great salads, especially when eaten with my heirloom tomatoes from the garden! I'll grow these every year now. I just started a new batch to grow in my cold frame and hoop house this winter.

This spinach germinated well, and produced way more spinach than I'd initially expected. It grew really well, was slow to bolt in the summer, and has a really nice mild flavor for salads or steamed.
Love this Hatch variety chili, next best thing to living in New Mexico! Yep, they grow in Oklahoma too!
This was my first time growing these and I will definitely be growing them from now on. Great germination and very sturdy plants that have withstood some really high winds. Huge long peppers that are excellent green or red, very easy to peel skin.
Growing these in Florida, (Recent transplant of NM).
Lovely peppers. Took a couple weeks is all and wow! I have several budding; 2 large enough to nickname. They're still in their infancy, but I can tell they are going to be great! Love the seeds!
Prudens purple was huge, productive, and delicious. Very crack resistant. Amazing!
I got these to make Chipotle chilis. These fruit early and are mild-ish when green, but when they ripen, they are perfect for smoking and drying with great flavor and nice heat. Don't plant too many as they are quite prolific.
I grow chilis for seed from Sandia in Wichita Kansas. They take longer for harvesting but make great roasting Chilis. I call them WichiHatch Chilis.
Seeds were amazing with great germination rates. Very stable strain that had little to no variation between plants! Will be running them again!
Just as described. Wonderful Habanero flavor without the heat. This makes the best Chili and we love the flavor.
Seeds grew quickly and in May I transplanted them into my garden. Kept three plants to a container and the did great in the garden without falling over. Great harvest.
I had 6 plants that produced all of the tomatillos that I could use. I gave my neighbors enough for a batch of green salsa too. Easy to germinate and great producers. We live in a short growing season in the mountains of Idaho and they did great!
We live in North Central Idaho in the mountains. Our seeds all terminated and I had a very good crop of green chile considering where we live. They are thick meated and have great flavor and just the right heat.
These Abe Lincoln tomatoes have the most delicious tomato flavor. Reminds me of the delicious tomatoes that my father grew when I was a child. We ate them straight out of the garden while they were still warm from the sun.
I grow your basil seeds every year, they are easy to start from seed and grow into nice bushy plants that we harvest all summer long to use to make caprese salads (when the tomatoes start to ripen), as well as pesto. I like to make a big batch of pesto, then freeze "pucks" of it in a muffin tray to store in a container in the freezer for some summer flavors all winter long. These seeds always have great germination. I also like to let a couple of basil plants bloom as the pollinators love the blooms and they are pretty, too!
I love everything about growing a three sisters garden, everything helps each other out... and it looks so pretty, too! I started my corn first, then planted the beans and then the squash and they all did so well together. My neighbors asked me what I did to get them to grow so well, so I told them about the three sisters technique and they're going to try it next season! My corn already is starting to put on cobs, and the beans are twirling up the stalks and the squash looks so happy at the base. Thanks for this seed packet bundle, it really is a game changer!
