Lactuca sativa
LETTUCE-LITTLE GEM-MINI COSS is a real crispy little cracker, one of the sweetest & best flavored of all lettuces. The little gem is a compact, quick maturing cos type lettuce with a firm, sweetheart that has been popular over the last 100 years. The medium-green leaves of this little cutie are going to make you feel healthier, just by looking at it! It grows only 12cm tall (short). A superb heat- tolerant variety that is sure to please! Step outside & grab one for lunch, you just can’t get fresher than this.
Sow in ordinary garden soil directly into your garden or container. Lettuce seed must have light to germinate. Make a shallow furrow in the soil, sow the seeds, then cover the furrows with a light layer of soil. Keep moist but NOT WET.
