Anyone who has ever eaten corn salad, or mache as it is known in Europe, knows just how wonderful a winter salad green it is. A cool season vegetable I pick enough for a salad several times a week from the end of May until spring. Read more about Mache (Corn Salad) (Valerianella locusta)

A beautiful looking and productive tiger striped variety weighing 2-3 kg with sweet, firm, crisp, red flesh. Flavour is out of this world, much better than the seedless types. ‘Tigrinho’ will ripen in cooler as well as warmer areas of Australia.

The deep red leaves, which have a very mild mustard flavour, will add a striking colour for salad mixes. Can be used as a baby leaf or allowed to grow to full size. Sow from early August until late April. 21 days baby 40 days full size
A quick growing, slow bolting salad green with a mild mustard flavour. It can be picked in as little as three weeks from sowing. It adds a piquancy to a mixed salad bowl but I enjoy it on its own with an olive oil and balsamic dressing.
