Lamb’s lettuce in the UK, valeriana in Italy, corn salad in the USA and mache in France. A favourite of those from cold climates where it was the first green salad vegetable to emerge from the melting snow. A delightful salad green that will only do well if grown when cold, but has great cold resistance. Direct seed in rows early spring and autumn and thin to 10cm. A smaller variety is available from the conventional seed range under "Lettuce/Salad Leaves".

As a child this variety was a great treat as it was only picked once and then we had to wait until next season to enjoy it, this however planted here in Australia seems to reproduce over and over and gives us a bonus treat throughout Autumn and spring.It is very prolific and can withstand wind and sea air.
