Claytonia Miner's Lettuce
Claytonia Miner's Lettuce is a remarkable cold-hardy native green that was a vital food source for Gold Rush miners and continues to earn its place in the modern garden as one of the most cold-tolerant greens available — surviving frosts that would destroy other lettuces. The round, succulent leaves have a mild, slightly sweet flavor with a pleasant juicy crunch, and their high vitamin C content makes them as nutritious as they are delicious in cool-season salads and fresh bowls.
