About Lettuce Seeds - Little Gem

Lactuca sativa

Seed Type Heirloom Seed

An olde 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!
