Claytonia - Key Growing Information
SCIENTIFIC NAME:
Claytonia perfoliata
CULTURE:
Often called miner's lettuce. DIRECT SEEDING (recommended): Sow anytime from mid-spring to late summer. For baby leaf, plant 3–5 seeds per inch in rows 2" or more apart. For full rosettes, space seeds 1/2" apart in rows 4–6" apart, cover 1/4" deep, and thin to 4–6".
TRANSPLANTING:
Drop 4–5 seeds into each 1–2" cell. Claytonia roots don't like being damaged, so handle with care. Thin to 2 plants per cell and, after about 4–5 weeks when the roots fill the cell, transplant gently about 8" apart.
HARVEST:
For repeated baby-leaf cuttings, cut above the basal plate. For rosettes, cut below it. Plants keep branching and filling out, and eventually produce dainty flowers that seem to rise from the center of the leaf.
AVG. DIRECT SEEDING RATE:
About 400' per oz.
SEED SPECS:
About 46,900 seeds per oz.
PACKET:
500 seeds per packet, enough for about 20'.
