This elegant, velvety-leafed green — a staple of French cuisine and upscale salad mixes — is one of the few vegetables that actually prefers cold weather, growing happily through frost and even light snow to deliver tender, nutty-flavored rosettes when fresh greens are hardest to come by. Botanical Interests Big Seeded Mâche seeds bring this gourmet green to your garden in a larger-seeded variety that's easier to sow and faster to establish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMâche (\u003cem\u003eValerianella locusta\u003c\/em\u003e), also known as Corn Salad, Lamb's Lettuce, or \u003cem\u003edoucette\u003c\/em\u003e in France, forms small, spoon-shaped rosettes of deep green leaves with a mild, buttery, slightly nutty flavor that pairs beautifully with beets, walnuts, goat cheese, and vinaigrette.

Sow seeds ¼ inch deep in rows or broadcast in beds, and thin to 4–6 inches apart. Mâche prefers cool, moist conditions and well-drained soil. It grows slowly — allow 45–60 days to harvest. Harvest whole rosettes at the base, or pick outer leaves for a cut-and-come-again approach. In mild climates, mâche will self-sow and naturalize for a low-maintenance perennial patch of winter greens.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003ePackaged by Botanical Interests — a trusted name in heirloom and open-pollinated seeds since 1995.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e# 0306\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Botanical Interests","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50321637507286,"sku":"6800","price":2.69,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1659\/9117\/files\/BotanicalInterestsMacheCornSaladBigSeededSeeds_7e1124a5-afa6-4b7c-9f10-30ada627e619.jpg?v=1787682659","url":"https:\/\/www.cfhydroponics.com\/products\/botanical-interests-mache-corn-salad-big-seeded-seeds","provider":"CF Hydroponics","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
