Description
Tom Thumb is a charming dwarf butterhead lettuce variety, forming petite, tennis ball-sized heads with buttery-soft leaves and a sweet, delicate flavor. Perfect for single servings, containers, or tight spaces, it matures quickly and thrives in cooler weather. This heirloom variety is ideal for gardeners looking for quick, space-efficient crops with high visual and culinary appeal.
When to Plant in the UAE (Field Planting)
In the UAE, Lettuce Tom Thumb should be sown directly outdoors from October to February, when temperatures range between 15°C and 25°C. It prefers mild conditions and will bolt quickly in heat, so avoid sowing during warmer months.

Use loose, fertile, well-drained soil enriched with compost
Sow seeds directly at a shallow depth of 0.5–1 cm
Space plants 15 cm apart, rows 20–25 cm apart
Water consistently to keep soil evenly moist
