- A distinct & most valuable cos lettuce. Dwarf & compact in growth & a beautiful colour. The solid hearts, which stand for a considerable time before running to seed, are highly esteemed by those who prefer a small, crisp lettuce. Tom says: Quick & easy lettuces are many peoples first veggie crop. Try mixing red & green lettuce leaves to add a note of bitterness to salads, or try slicing up little gem lettuces & sautéing with peas & garlic for an alternative homegrown lunch.
