Rapunzel "d'Olanda a Seme Grosso" can be grown in the open field. This plant does not have any special requirements in regard to soil, nor site - take into account that wild lamb's lettuce varieties grow in Europe as roadside weeds. The proposed plant will produce abundant crops on every sunny border fertilized with compost, well-spread manure (sowing in the second year after manure fertilization is recommended) or granulated vegetable fertilizers. We advise to sow the cornsalad seeds in the first half of spring and the second half of summer in order to harvest its exuberant rosettes in summer and autumn. Due to good frost resistance of the plant, its leaves can be collected even in winter and in the early spring. In order for plants from the late autumn sow to survive temperature drops, it is enough to cover them with spruce twigs or a thick layer of straw.
