Corn salad "Verte a coeur plein" is a leaf vegetable that is very easy to grow. It develops small rosettes of round leaves that are full of vitamins and minerals. These tender, crisp vegetable can be considered a great alternative to traditional lettuce. It is an attractive aftercrop for autumn and winter cultures, when we suffer from a deficit of fresh, domestic vegetables. It can be grown in the field and in containers. It is considered a frost-resistant vegetable - it can be harvested even during the winter,from under the snow. We recommend, though, to cover it with mulch consisting of straw or conifer twigs.

Cornsalad's vegetation season lasts from 2 to 3 months. This plant can be sown late in summer and in autumn. It is undemanding and does not require any special treatment. Seeds should be sown into well-cultivated and thoroughly weeded soil. Lamb's lettuce develops a shallow root system - you must ensure appropriate, regular watering.
