Details
- Sow: September - October
- Harvest: March - May
Planting
- Soil: Moist but well‑drained
- Aspect: Full sun to partial shade
- Sowing: Sow thinly in shallow drills (approx. 0.5 cm deep) in a prepared seedbed.
- Spacing: Once seedlings are large enough, thin to around 15 cm apart to allow rosettes to form.
Care
Keep the bed free of weeds and consistently moist during establishment. Corn salad is frost‑tolerant and can be grown for winter harvests (with protection in harsher climates). Pick outer leaves regularly as baby leaf salad, or harvest whole rosettes for a more substantial salad portion.
