MÂCHE ‘NORTH HOLLAND'

Valerianella locusta var. oleracea

ORGANIC

An old Dutch selection of this very peculiar salad green. Lives up to the common name of “Lamb's Lettuce". Long pale green plush leaves are extraordinarily soft, meltingly tender and delicious. Very cold hardy. Less tolerant of heat than ‘Vit'. Sow in autumn for winter and early spring harvests. Will self-sow if allowed. Very nice with perennial onions and strawberries.

Sow mâche seeds directly into the garden. Can be harvested all winter in all but the harshest climates. Allowed to self-sow, mâche is seemingly perennial in most gardens. An excellent candidate for small permacultural landscapes. Can be sown in flats in a cold greenhouse. An excellent choice for growers serving specialty markets.

Packet contains at least 300 seeds.
