Details: Little Gem is a romaine butterhead type lettuce characterized by its crinkled leaves. The small heads are approximately 6 inches by 4 inches in size. They are firm yet tender with a sweet buttery flavor that lacks any hint of bitterness. The hearts are noteworthy for their blanched white centers. This variety is notably heat-tolerant and slow to bolt, which means it does not rush into flowering. Its compact growth habit is ideal for container gardening, providing a practical option for space-limited settings.
