• Little Gem Lettuce is a small type that people prefer because its heads are straight and neat and its leaves are pretty and crisp. It makes thick hearts that taste delicious and feel crunchy. It's great for salads, wraps, and light dinners in the summer. It's compact and doesn't lose its taste or quality, so it's perfect for growing in small places.

• Little Gem is a great plant for pots, window boxes, raised beds, and vegetable gardens since it grows quickly and is easy to take care of. You can select it as complete heads or leaf by leaf, which makes it an adaptable and satisfying crop for people who cultivate their own food.

Light Required Full sun to partial shade

Watering Water regularly, keeping soil evenly moist to encourage crisp, tender hearts.

Best Growing Conditions Grow in a sunny or lightly shaded position in fertile, moisture-retentive but well-drained soil. Water regularly to keep soil evenly moist and prevent bolting. Harvest heads when firm and well formed, or pick outer leaves as needed for a cut-and-come-again crop.
