Miner's Lettuce
Claytonia perfoliata
50 seeds
Miner’s Lettuce is a member of the Montiaceae family. The plant gets its name from the workers who traveled to California during the Gold Rush. Needing a source of vitamin C, gold miners quickly discovered from the Native Americans that Miner’s Lettuce could be consumed both raw or cooked to prevent scurvy and other vitamin C related issues. Miner's Lettuce is favored by foragers and home gardeners for its rapid growth, ability to be harvested multiple times throughout the season, and its crisp, sweet flavor to be used in both fresh and cooked applications. Miner's Lettuce is frost-tolerant and low-maintenance and can be harvested multiple times throughout the growing season, offering a nice steady supply of nutritious greens. Miner's Lettuce thrives in loose soils best (sandy loam or peaty). Scatter seeds about ¼” deep. Claytonia prefers cool soil to germinate (50-60°F). In fact, germination rate greatly declines when soil temperatures climb over 65°F,
