little gem lettuce seeds

compact, sweet romaine-butterhead cross with crisp, tightly packed hearts and a rich, buttery flavor. little gem is one of the most popular and rewarding lettuces to grow, producing perfectly sized heads ideal for individual servings.

fast-maturing plants reach harvest in just 60–70 days, producing dense, upright heads with tender inner leaves and satisfying crunch. more heat-tolerant than most lettuces and slower to bolt, making it well-suited to south african conditions. perfect for salads, wedges, and braai-side sides.

rich in vitamins a, c, and k, and folate. easy to grow in beds, containers, and window boxes. sow successionally every few weeks for a continuous harvest of fresh, sweet heads throughout the season.
