Heirloom-It is one of the earliest varieties to mature and produces small, compact plants which are packed w/a crisp sweet heart & little outside leaf. It is described as a combo of Butter and Romaine. It is crisp, like Romaine, and sweet, like butter, but the texture and the flavor are all its own. Nice for salads, sandwiches but also holds up well in stir-fries. It is great for small spaces. (Maturity: 50-65 days)(Lactuca sativa ‘Little Gem’)
