Description

The petite romaine of perfect proportion. ‘Little Gem’ produces compact, 6-inch heads combining the crispness of romaine with the tenderness of butterhead. The leaves are sweet, mild, and ideal for individual servings or gourmet salads.

Plants grow uniformly and mature in just 50–55 days, thriving in cool or mild conditions. Excellent for container gardens and succession planting.

An English heirloom from the early 1900s, ‘Little Gem’ remains beloved for its flavor, convenience, and charm—a true miniature masterpiece of the lettuce world.
