An ole’ English Heirloom variety, Little Gem is as tasty as it is diminutive. An excellent salad lettuce, Little Gem tends to have a pleasantly distinctive nutty flavor. All in all, an excellent lettuce worth a try. Note: lettuce dorks have argued for decades as to whether Little Gem should be considered a Butterhead or Romaine variety. As for us, we’ve declared neutrality in this lettuce war, and have decided to let the customers decide for themselves!   Harvest in about 50 days. Germination rate about 80% or better.
