Sucrine lettuce (Lactuca sativa), also known as 'Little Gem' is a cross between romaine and butterhead. Thick, wavy, buttery leaves and a crunchy midrib are delicious and have a hint of nutty flavour.

As leaves grow, they develop into small to medium-sized, elongated heads, similar to romaine in shape and structure. Harvest individual leaves as they grow, or wait until heads form and harvest by cutting at the base of the plant. 

The thick nature of the leaves give this variety good heat tolerance, making it a wise choice for summer growing.
