Lettuce (organic) Seeds - Little Gem | Vegetable Seeds | Suttons

The Little Gem lettuce is a highly sought-after variety known for its rapid growth and exceptional flavor. These organic seeds offer a rewarding experience for gardeners of all levels, allowing you to enjoy crisp, sweet leaves throughout the seasons. Specifically bred for its quick maturity, Little Gem is ideal for those seeking a consistent supply of fresh lettuce.

Sow in the open in spring and summer, or in early autumn for winter use under cloches – providing a continuous harvest. These compact plants, resistant to root aphid, can be spaced 15cm apart, and are supplied with Suttons' detailed sowing and growing instructions to guide you through every step. For optimal results, sow thinly outdoors from late March until July for earlier crops.

Alternatively, sow indoors from February onwards and plant out at fortnightly intervals to ensure a regular supply. The seeds are carefully quality tested to guarantee high germination rates. The Little Gem variety is particularly well-suited for overwintering, with late August-early September sowings providing a winter supply when grown under cloches.

This makes it a reliable choice for extending your growing season.
