Claytonia, also known as Miner’s Lettuce, is a tender, cold-hardy green prized for its mild, slightly tangy flavor and unique, heart-shaped leaves. Thriving in cool, shady conditions, it’s an excellent early spring or fall crop. Originally eaten by California gold miners for its vitamin C content, this nutritious green is perfect for salads or light sautés. Claytonia self-sows easily, making it a low-maintenance favorite for gardeners seeking a refreshing, nutrient-rich leafy green.
Very fast-growing! Used these in my salads all summer— delicious addition! Will keep growing next year as well.
Got these as my "fun purchase" with my recent order and added them to an indoor bed of leafy greens. They took way faster/better than I was thinking they would because they essentially made a blanket (I think I sowed too heavily lol) Probably going to use them as a cover crop in my outdoor garden next year. Thanks MIGardener!
Still cold here, and I’m a bit behind. Not planted yet. Can’t tell you anything.
I'm happy with the price and deliver of the seeds. I will be planting these soon. I can't wait to see how they grow and the taste of the lettuce.
I am going to try it
Grew these for the past three years and I will keep growing them for many more. I highly recommend them. Great germination rate. Every onion grew to the size of baseballs and others a bit bigger and they store very well.Best long day onion I have ever grow.
I am very happy with my heirloom seeds. I cannot wait to germinate them.
Started my seeds on 12/31/25. I’ve had almost 100% germination and the onion seedlings are a couple of inches tall at this point (1/9/26). Looking forward to a great harvest!
Grew these last year, so I bought more seeds! they were awesome, very prolific and tasted great!!
I started them early....did waterjug winter seed starts .. they did very well....grew up to be nice sturdy plants, bearing lots of fruit! Thank You!!
