LITTLE GEM - Lettuces
Little gem lettuce is a versatile, flavourful leafy green that combines the crispness of romaine with the tenderness of butter lettuce, making it a favourite in salads and various dishes.
 
At Longwell Green Plants, we are proud to offer this exceptional lettuce variety, known for its compact size, typically growing to about 4 to 6 inches tall. Sometimes referred to as Baby Gem lettuce, its petite stature and delightful texture make it a perfect addition to any garden or culinary creation.
 
Trust in our commitment to providing quality plants, and enjoy the superior taste and convenience of Little Gem lettuce in your home-grown harvests.
 
Supplied in a tray of 20 XL Plug Plants, these can be planted either directly into the garden or large pots/containers, in a warm, sunny spot.
 
Space each plug plant approx 6" apart to give them room to grow. Requires virtually no maintenance other than watering in dry spells. Avoid planting in direct sunlight as excess heat can cause the plants to seed early.
 
Days to harvest - 50-60days, depending on planting conditions.
