Product description

Lettuce 'Little Gem Cos' is a popular, compact variety known for its crisp texture and sweet flavour. This lettuce produces small, tight heads of pale green leaves, making it an excellent choice for both small gardens and container growing. Its manageable size and reliable growth habit make it a favourite among gardeners looking to maximise space and yield. Perfect for fresh salads and garnishes, 'Little Gem Cos' is a versatile addition to any vegetable patch.

To grow 'Little Gem Cos', sow seeds from March to July. For early crops, start seeds under glass, then transplant them outdoors once the risk of frost has passed. Alternatively, sow seeds directly into prepared soil, thinning seedlings to 15cm apart to allow enough space for the heads to develop. This lettuce thrives in well-drained, fertile soil and requires regular watering, especially during dry spells, to maintain its crisp texture.

Harvest your 'Little Gem Cos' lettuce from May to October, cutting the heads when they are firm and fully formed. Regular harvesting encourages continuous growth, ensuring a steady supply of fresh, homegrown lettuce. With its compact size and excellent flavour, 'Little Gem Cos' is an ideal choice for gardeners of all levels, offering a rewarding crop with minimal effort.
