🥗 Corn Salad Lettuce 2000 Seeds Heirloom (Valerianella locusta) – Cold-hardy heirloom with tender, nutty leaves. Package of 2,000 seeds (8 g).
Corn Salad (Mache) Lettuce 2000 Seeds Heirloom (Valerianella locusta) is a traditional European heirloom leafy vegetable that has been enjoyed for centuries for its delicate texture, sweet nutty flavor, and exceptional cold hardiness. Also widely known as Lamb's Lettuce, Mâche, Feldsalat, Nut Lettuce, Field Salad, and Rapunzel, this gourmet salad green is highly prized by home gardeners and professional chefs alike.
Originally gathered from the wild throughout Europe, Corn Salad became popular in royal gardens during the late 16th century and has remained one of the finest cool-season salad crops ever since. It forms compact rosettes of deep green, spoon-shaped leaves that offer a refreshing flavor with subtle nutty and slightly mint-like notes, making it perfect for fresh salads, sandwiches, gourmet dishes, and healthy everyday meals.
This outstanding heirloom variety performs best during cool weather and thrives in early spring, autumn, and even throughout winter in mild climates. Its remarkable frost tolerance allows gardeners to enjoy fresh leafy greens long after many other vegetables have stopped producing. Often, it is among the very first fresh vegetables harvested after winter, making it an essential crop for year-round gardening.
Besides its excellent flavor, Valerianella locusta is highly nutritious. The leaves are naturally rich in Vitamin C, beta-carotene, Vitamins B6 and B9 (folate), Vitamin E, Omega-3 fatty acids, antioxidants, and essential minerals, making Corn Salad one of the healthiest leafy vegetables available.

Corn Salad (Mache) Lettuce 2000 Seeds Heirloom (Valerianella locusta) performs best in cool temperatures and is ideal for spring, autumn, and winter cultivation. High summer temperatures often cause plants to bolt prematurely, so sowing is recommended during cooler parts of the growing season.
Plants grow well in fertile, moisture-retentive soil with good drainage. Full sun encourages maximum growth during cooler months, while partial shade is beneficial in warmer climates. Regular watering keeps the leaves tender and improves overall yield.
Its compact growth habit makes this heirloom variety suitable for vegetable gardens, raised beds, containers, cold frames, greenhouses, and succession planting.
