Mache Seeds (Corn Salad) – Non-GMO Heirloom

when almost nothing else will. It is a gourmet European salad green that is surprisingly easy in the home garden. Who it's for Ideal for gardeners who want fresh salad greens in cold weather, and for cooks who love a mild, nutty leaf for delicate salads. How & when to plant Direct sow in early spring or, best of all, in late summer to fall for a cool-season and overwintered crop. Sow 1/4 inch deep and thin to 4-6 inches apart. Mache likes full sun to part shade and cold weather, growing well in USDA zones 3-9. It germinates best in cool soil and can survive hard frosts under a light cover. Harvest Rosettes mature in about 50-70 days. Cut whole rosettes at the base, or pick individual leaves. Harvest through winter in mild climates, as the flavor stays sweet in the cold. Benefits & uses The tender rosettes are perfect served whole in delicate salads, often paired with beets, nuts, and a light vinaigrette. Growing guide: New to this variety?
