Discover one of Europe’s favorite cold-season salad greens with Corn Salad Verte de Cambrai Seeds (Valerianella locusta), also known as Mâche or Lamb’s Lettuce. This heirloom variety produces petite, spoon-shaped leaves that form soft green rosettes—perfect for fresh salads, sandwiches, or light sautés. With its mild, nutty flavor and tender texture, Corn Salad Verte de Cambrai is a gourmet green that thrives even in cool or low-light conditions.
Cold-Hardy, Versatile, and Delicious:
Mâche is a resilient annual that grows easily in a wide range of environments—from traditional outdoor gardens to hydroponic and indoor setups. It performs especially well as a winter or early-spring crop, tolerating cool temperatures down to Zone 5. Compact and fast-growing, it’s an excellent choice for gardeners who want a steady supply of nutrient-rich greens year-round.
Why Gardeners Love Corn Salad Verte de Cambrai:
- Mild, nutty flavor and soft, buttery texture
- Cold-tolerant heirloom perfect for fall and winter planting
- Thrives in garden beds, containers, and hydroponic systems
- Compact rosettes ideal for cut-and-come-again harvesting
- Rich in Vitamins A, C, and B6, plus iron and potassium
- Non-GMO, open-pollinated seeds with dependable germination
How to Grow:
Sow seeds directly outdoors in early spring or late summer for fall and winter harvests. For hydroponic or indoor growing, plant seeds in nutrient-rich media under bright light. Sow thinly and cover lightly with soil, keeping evenly moist. Germination occurs in 7–14 days at 50–65°F. Thin seedlings to 4–6 inches apart. Harvest baby leaves when young or allow rosettes to mature for deeper flavor.
Harvest & Enjoy:
Harvest whole rosettes or individual leaves as needed. Corn Salad Verte de Cambrai’s mild, nutty flavor complements mixed greens, omelets, sandwiches, and light sautés. Its smooth texture and subtle sweetness make it a favorite among gourmet chefs and home gardeners alike.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are heirloom seeds?
What are heirloom seeds?
Heirloom seeds are the types of seeds your grandparents grew. These varieties have been passed down from generation to generation. They’re old reliable open-pollinated varieties that aren’t typically grown commercially. Instead, they have a rich history that predates modern breeding techniques.
You can learn more about open-pollinated, heirloom, and non-GMO seeds in our Survival Garden Training blog.
How do I know my seeds are fresh?
How do I know my seeds are fresh?
Every seed packet includes a "packed for" date, and we germination test each seed lot before packaging to ensure you receive viable, high-quality seeds that are ready to grow.
Are your seeds treated?
Are your seeds treated?
No, we do not pre-treat our farmer seeds. All of our garden seeds for sale are untreated, open-pollinated, non-GMO, and heirloom varieties. They are kept in temperature-controlled cooler storage until they are packed and shipped to keep them pest and disease-free.
In what zones can I grow your seeds?
In what zones can I grow your seeds?
The seeds in our collections are specifically chosen from varieties that can be successfully grown from Zone 3 to Zone 10 USDA Hardiness Zones. However, individual varieties have specific needs to thrive in different environments. Each seed pack has optimal temperatures for germination and instructions on seed starting. Consult local frost dates to plan your garden and get the most out of your seeds.
What is the shelf life of these gardening seeds?
What is the shelf life of these gardening seeds?
Most seeds remain viable for 3 to 5 years or longer when stored properly. Check your seed packet for specific varieties. For best results, keep your seeds in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. Store them in an airtight container in a consistent temperature environment—a refrigerator or cool basement works well. Proper storage helps maintain germination rates and extends seed life well beyond the packed date.
