Lettuce Pint Size - Ontario Seed Company

Lactuca sativa

Perfectly named for its adorable size, Pint Size Lettuce is the ideal variety for small-space gardeners or those who crave individual, crisp servings. Each compact plant produces 1 to 2 charming 10 cm to 12 cm crisp heads. The dark green outer leaves protect a bright green interior of neatly wrapped leaves, surrounding a very small inner core. You’ll love its very distinctive, sweet flavour and satisfying crunchiness. Best of all, it’s slow bolting and resistant to Fusarium race 1!
