Опис
Sow seeds in fall directly in moist, humus-rich, slightly acidic soil in deep to partial shade; this native eastern woodland plant is one of the few vegetables that genuinely thrives in full shade. The deeply lobed young leaves and stem tips that emerge in early spring have a mild, pleasant flavor and were an important spring green for many Indigenous peoples and early settlers. Harvest only young growth before the plant begins to flower, as older leaves become coarser. The plant spreads by rhizome to form colonies and self-sows readily, making it a productive and low-maintenance component of an edible shade garden. Goes dormant in summer heat.
Спосіб посадки: Посів у відкритий ґрунт
Відстань між рослинами: 12–18 дюймів
Висота: 12–24 дюймів
Дні до схожості: 21–45
Температура ґрунту для схожості: 4–13°C

Direct sow in fall so seeds receive natural cold stratification over winter; spring germination will occur when soil warms. Alternatively, cold-stratify seed in the refrigerator for 60–90 days before spring sowing.
