What Makes Survival Garden Seeds Different - non-GMO heirloom seeds

Discover one of Europe’s favorite cold-season salad greens with Corn Salad Verte de Cambrai Seeds (Valerianella locusta), also known as Mâche or Lamb’s Lettuce. This heirloom variety produces petite, spoon-shaped leaves that form soft green rosettes—perfect for fresh salads, sandwiches, or light sautés. With its mild, nutty flavor and tender texture, Corn Salad Verte de Cambrai is a gourmet green that thrives even in cool or low-light conditions.

Cold-Hardy, Versatile, and Delicious:
Mâche is a resilient annual that grows easily in a wide range of environments—from traditional outdoor gardens to hydroponic and indoor setups. It performs especially well as a winter or early-spring crop, tolerating cool temperatures down to Zone 5. Compact and fast-growing, it’s an excellent choice for gardeners who want a steady supply of nutrient-rich greens year-round.

Why Gardeners Love Corn Salad Verte de Cambrai:

  • Mild, nutty flavor and soft, buttery texture
  • Cold-tolerant heirloom perfect for fall and winter planting
  • Thrives in garden beds, containers, and hydroponic systems
  • Compact rosettes ideal for cut-and-come-again harvesting
  • Rich in Vitamins A, C, and B6, plus iron and potassium
  • Non-GMO, open-pollinated seeds with dependable germination

How to Grow:
Sow seeds directly outdoors in early spring or late summer for fall and winter harvests. For hydroponic or indoor growing, plant seeds in nutrient-rich media under bright light. Sow thinly and cover lightly with soil, keeping evenly moist. Germination occurs in 7–14 days at 50–65°F. Thin seedlings to 4–6 inches apart. Harvest baby leaves when young or allow rosettes to mature for deeper flavor.

Harvest & Enjoy:
Harvest whole rosettes or individual leaves as needed. Corn Salad Verte de Cambrai’s mild, nutty flavor complements mixed greens, omelets, sandwiches, and light sautés. Its smooth texture and subtle sweetness make it a favorite among gourmet chefs and home gardeners alike.
