Lettuce ‘Pint Size’ (Mini Romaine Lettuce) (Lactuca sativa)

Lettuce ‘Pint Size’ (Lactuca sativa) is a compact mini romaine lettuce variety bred for small-space gardening and easy harvest. This variety produces dense, upright heads with crisp, sweet leaves and a classic romaine texture, but in a smaller, more manageable size.

Pint Size lettuce is ideal for container growing, raised beds, and intensive planting systems where space is limited. Its uniform growth and compact habit make it suitable for successive harvests, and it can be grown close together without sacrificing quality. The crisp leaves are excellent for fresh salads, sandwiches, and wraps.

Well-adapted to Alberta’s climate, Pint Size lettuce thrives in cool conditions and performs best in spring and fall. It grows quickly and can be harvested as a whole head or leaf-by-leaf, offering flexibility for home gardeners.
