Mâchè Seed
Valerianella locusta
CAPRIFOLIACEAE, The Honeysuckle family
Say ‘mahsh’ (rhymes with squash). Also called corn salad or lamb’s lettuce. One of the hardiest of winter greens, this tender salad green can take cold temperatures and frost with no problem. It has a mild, nutty flavor. Harvest leaves or whole plants before it goes to flower. The tiny white flowers bloom in summer and it’s easy to save seed for the next crop.
Sow in fall or early spring. Succession sow for continuous harvest in mild weather.
Seeds sprout best in cool moist soil.
Planting Depth: 1/4" deep
Days to Germination: 7 to 21 days
Days to Harvest: 30 days
Size: One seed packet
