Lettuce

Also called ‘Sucrine’ or ‘Sugar Cos’, ‘Little Gem’ is an English heirloom that is a small variety of romaine, but has the succulent sweetness of a butterhead. The glossy-leafed heads are a petite, 6″ tall and 4″ wide—the perfect size for an individual dinner salad. The tender, blanched heart is ideal for any recipe that calls for “hearts of romaine.”

Fill your bowl with the mixed colors of Salad Bowl! This blend has it all: great flavor, good looks, and sweet leaves in a heat-tolerant variety. The greens and reds look beautiful in salads and sandwiches. Harvest young for terrific baby greens. ‘Green Salad Bowl’ won the All-America Selections award in 1952, and ‘Red Salad Bowl’ won the Award of Garden Merit from the Royal Horticultural Society in 1995.
