Annual leaf vegetable with tender rosettes
corn salad seeds produce a compact, low-growing leaf crop valued for its mild flavor and soft texture. This annual leaf vegetable variety, Groene Volhart 2, forms neat rosettes of smooth green leaves that are easy to harvest as young salad greens. Also known as lambs lettuce seeds, this type is a classic choice for home gardens where you want reliable, fine-textured leaves for everyday kitchen use.
Botanical name: Valerianella locusta.
Best suited for sunny, well drained beds
This corn salad is described as most suitable for a sunny position and is less suited to heavy, wet soils, making good drainage an important consideration. As a cool-season salad green, it fits well into seasonal garden planning and is commonly chosen for early spring sowing seeds as well as autumn sowing salad greens, depending on local conditions. If you are looking for mache salad greens seed or feldsalat seed for outdoor direct sow seeds in vegetable beds, borders, or raised plots, this variety offers a straightforward way to add fresh, leafy texture to mixed salads.
