Don't let the name fool you — Little Gems is anything but small in personality. This round design is a layered, lush little universe of flavor, texture and charm, packing over 40 plants into a tidy 36" circle that works beautifully in the ground or in a planter. No trellis, no support, no fuss.
Taller plants anchor the center with confidence, three lettuce varieties radiate outward, ground covers weave throughout with intention, and dainty white flowers add a wildflower whimsy that makes this bed look like something out of a storybook.
Meet the cast: calendula, chamomile, 3 different lettuces, sorrel, purslane and dandelion: medicinal herbs, leafy super foods, heirloom treasures and pollinator favorites, all in one tidy little circle. 8 plant varieties, 40+ plants total. Little Gems proves the best things come in small packages.
Some recipe ideas:
Purslane sauteed in olive oil or butter, poured over grilled lettuce wedges.
Tea made with calendula or chamomile.
Salads using the leafy greens and flowers.
Dandelion syrup.
Purslane pesto.
