Cos Lettuce 'Little gem' - 2500 seeds (Lactuca sativa)
£1.24
Unit price perEstimated Delivery between September 25 and September 27.
Lactuca sativa 'Little Gem' is a compact cos lettuce producing small, dense heads of crisp green leaves surrounding a sweet, crunchy heart. Its naturally dwarf habit makes it particularly useful where space is limited, while the small heads are conveniently sized for individual salads and fresh harvesting.
Quick-growing and productive, 'Little Gem' performs well in vegetable plots, raised beds and containers. Grow in fertile, moisture-retentive soil and sow small batches regularly rather than one large crop, providing a succession of fresh heads from spring into autumn.
● Small, dense cos lettuce heads with crisp hearts
● Sweet flavour and crunchy texture
● Compact habit ideal for limited growing space
● Excellent for containers and raised beds
● Quick-growing variety ideal for succession sowing
● Kitchen gardens
● Raised beds
● Patio containers
● Small vegetable plots
● Successional salad crops
● Sow small batches every 2–3 weeks rather than the entire packet at once to provide a continuous supply of fresh heads.
● Keep the soil consistently moist, as dry conditions combined with high temperatures can trigger premature bolting and make the leaves bitter.
● During hot summer weather, provide light shade and sow during cooler parts of the day, as high temperatures can inhibit lettuce germination.
● Thin seedlings promptly so each plant has enough space to develop the compact, dense heart characteristic of 'Little Gem'.
● Protect young plants from slugs and snails, particularly during early growth when tender lettuce seedlings are especially vulnerable.
