Little Gem Cos, Romaine Lettuce (Lactuca sativa): Heirloom Little Gem Lettuce. These small, green heads of lettuce are ready to harvest FULL maturity in about 70 days. Known for its heat tolerance, Little Gem is perfect for compact growing spaces. Its leaves have a mildly sweet flavor, ideal for salads. Resembling a miniature romaine, this heirloom butterhead grows up to 8 inches tall. Due to its small size, it matures early, often within 50 days, and is prized for its taste. In Europe, it’s called 'Sucrine,' meaning sugar, because of its sweetness. Little Gem has earned numerous awards and is highly recommended by the National Institute of Agricultural Botany.
