About Little Gem Lettuce: In Europe, this well known variety of lettuce has the name 'Sucrine,' meaning sugar, because of its sweetness. Little Gem has received numerous awards and comes highly recommended by the National Institute of Agricultural Botany.
Since lettuce has very shallow roots, it needs adequate moisture in order to stay tender and sweet; keep the soil evenly moist. Applying mulch helps conserve moisture and control weeds.
Lettuce retains its crisp sweetness best when harvested in the morning. For microgreens, cut the entire plant above the surface of the soil as soon as it reaches a height of 2-3". Outer leaves of the plant can be gathered all season until the main stem of the plant starts to grow, at which time the leaves will grow bitter. To harvest the entire plant when mature, cut it just above the surface of the soil; lettuce tastes best when fresh, but keeps in the refrigerator for about a week.
4-6 inch heads with bright green leaves
All my seeds come in reusable ziplock bags with planting instructions.
Please note if you order more than one of this item they will be shipped packaged all in one ziploc bag with one set of planting instruction unless otherwise requested
