A space where it can thrive
Grow as a cultivated garden crop in a bed or suitably sized container. The illustrated nursery pot is a presentation, not a recommendation for the mature plant’s root space.
Ask about availabilityAvailability, size, pot and price will be confirmed in store. Pictures illustrate the plant type.

Your care routine
Watering
Keep shallow roots moist, especially through germination.
Soil & drainage
Fine, well-drained soil that stays cool.
Temperature
Plan sowing for the crop’s preferred season. Protect young plants and containers from severe frost; local conditions affect timing.
Planting
Direct sow for autumn, winter or early spring leaves; hot weather reduces establishment.
Harvest
Cut the small rosettes above the base if you want regrowth. Wash off soil carefully.
Through the seasons
Use a ventilated cloche in severe coastal winter weather. This is a cool-season salad, not a summer heat crop.
When your plant needs help
- Grow for cool spring or autumn leaves; protect a winter crop with a ventilated cloche in severe cold.
Pets & little ones
