Also known as Buckshorn Plaintain or Erba Stella, this is a unique Italian heirloom , grown in America since colonial days, when it was used as a medicinal for fevers. Also put up in fancy jellies. This cold weather salad green has a mild nutty flavor and crunchy texture. The small, narrow-leaved heads form full rosetted clumps. Best harvested before flowering begins, as the flowers tend to draw up the flavor into themselves. Also, you can eat the flowers too and they make a decorative accent to salads. Harvest when young and tender at about 5". Easy to grow and self-seeds. 60 days.
Cleaned seeds, no hulls.
