Description
- Nation's favourite
- Buttery taste
- Great for growing in small spaces
Lettuce Little Gem is a widely known variety sold in supermarkets, but you can certainly taste the difference when you grow your own.
Every plant produces a compact head of buttery, creamy leaves that is clean-tasting and delicious.
Little Gem is fast growing, making it a perfect contender as a catch-crop while waiting for longer-growing vegetables to mature. This mini variety is perfect for growing in containers and smaller gardenens, making it a perfect choice if you're a green finger gardener who has little green space and loves to grow your own.
For amazing crops of tasty, fresh and healthy produce, harvest during June and October.
