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
Awesome color on these. Beautiful addition to the (majority pink shades) zinnias I usually grow.
I have way more celery than I have room to plant!
Planted my basil as soon as thepackets arrived!
Last year I decided to plant a "tunnel" of sunflowers on the other side of my tall blueberry bushes and these added a colorful variety to the typical yellow! These are now a favorite that will be a "grow again!"
I received a packet of this mix with a previous greenstalk order through MIgardener (best price around!) and was pleasantly surprised how easy it was to grow and how delicious it was! I’ve never grown salad greens before and this was the perfect mix. Even after burning out on gardening late in the summer, I will always look forward to growing this salad green mix in the spring. Thanks for introducing me!
