About

An invaluable hardy winter salad for growing outdoors and under cover with a superb nutty flavour. Corn salad or lamb's lettuce is a small annual plant that forms rosettes of dark green leaves which have a gentle nutty flavour, soft texture, and are extremely popular as salad greens. It provides a valuable source of fresh greens during the autumn and winter months as it is suitable for growing outdoors with little protection or under cover in the cold. We are amazed by this plant's hardiness and really enjoy growing it! Ronja grew up eating 'Feldsalat' (German for corn salad) almost every day during the winter months and wouldn't want to live without it.
