Miner’s Lettuce

Claytonia perfoliata 42 days. This annual green is high in vitamin C and native to many moist areas of the country. The leaves are rather heart-shaped and provide a substantial addition to salads and sandwiches. Probably the most cold tolerant of the greens, Miner’s Lettuce will grow year-round in the cloche, greenhouse, or even unprotected in the maritime Northwest. Quickly regrows after harvest. Approximately 525 seeds per gram.
