INTRODUCING CORN SALAD SEEDS

Corn Salad is scientifically known as Valerianella locusta. It is a leafy green native to Europe, perfect for growing in cold seasons. This plant is highly valued for its tender, rosette-shaped leaves with a mild flavor. Mache salad grows to about 4 to 6 inches. It forms a dense cluster of leaves. An excellent choice for early spring and fall gardens, this crop can survive light frosts and cooler temperatures. Corn salad grows well in USDA hardiness zones 5-10, providing a fresh harvest when other greens might struggle.

GROWING CORN SALAD

Sow Corn Salad seeds directly in the garden. Do it early spring, or late summer to get a fall harvest. Seeds can be started indoors as well. In this case, start a few weeks before the last frost. To plant, scatter seeds on the soil surface. Cover them lightly with a thin layer of soil. Make sure the soil is moist until germination begins. Typically, it starts within a week or two. Thin the seedlings to about 4 to 6 inches apart, when they are large enough to handle.

MAINTAINING CORN SALAD PLANTS

Corn salad plant needs minimal maintenance once it has been established. Provide the plants with adequate water, especially during dry periods. A location with partial to full sunlight is ideal. Harvest the leaves when they are young and tender, typically about 40-50 days after planting for the best flavor. Cut the outer leaves first as the inner leaves will continue growing for several harvests.
