The Iconic "Tennis Ball" Heirloom for Small Spaces

Experience the charm and flavor of one of the oldest American lettuces with Tom Thumb. True to its name, this petite Butterhead (Bibb) variety produces compact, miniature heads that are roughly the size of a tennis ball—about 4 to 5 inches across.
