Claytonia Specialty Green Seed

Item #HSC-GRN-006-PKT

A juicy, frost-tolerant salad green.

Claytonia, or miner’s lettuce, makes lots of paired, heart-shaped leaves, each pair wrapped around a stem topped with small white flowers. Young leaves taste fresh and a little wild.

It handles moderate frost and grows right through winter in mild areas or an unheated greenhouse. Cut it more than once.

About 40 days from sowing. Open-pollinated.

Growing Information

Scientific name

Claytonia perfoliata

Direct sowing

The better method. Sow from mid-spring to late summer. Baby leaf: 3–5 seeds per inch, rows at least 2" apart. Rosettes: seeds 1/2" apart, 1/4" deep, rows 4–6" apart, thinned to 4–6".

Transplants

The roots resent damage. Sow 4–5 seeds per 1–2" cell, thin to 2, and plant out gently about 8" apart after 4–5 weeks, once roots fill the cell.

Cold

Takes moderate frost; in mild areas or an unheated greenhouse it grows all winter.

Harvest

For regrowing baby leaf, cut above the base. For rosettes, cut below it. Plants keep branching and end with small white flowers that seem to rise from the leaf.

Seeding rate

About 1 oz. per 400 ft. of row.

Packet

500 seeds.
