How to Grow Dutch Corn Salad Seeds (Corn Salad / Mâche / Valerianella locusta):
Dutch Corn Salad is a cool-season leafy green that loves mild to cold weather and is one of the easiest fall–winter salads. Direct sow outdoors because it grows fast and doesn’t need transplanting. Sow in early spring for spring harvest, or late summer through fall for the best crop; in mild-winter areas it can grow all winter. Choose a spot with full sun to partial shade and moist, well-drained soil. Sow seeds very shallow, about 3–6 mm (⅛–¼ in) deep, lightly cover, and keep soil evenly moist. Germination is usually 7–14 days but can be slower in cold soil. Thin seedlings to about 10–15 cm (4–6 in) apart for rosettes, or leave closer if harvesting baby greens.

How to Care for Dutch Corn Salad:
Keep moisture steady—dry soil makes leaves smaller and tougher, while soggy soil can cause rot. Mulch lightly in cool weather to hold moisture and protect against hard freezes. Corn salad isn’t a heavy feeder; a bit of compost before planting is usually enough, and extra fertilizer isn’t needed unless soil is very poor. Harvest by cutting outer leaves for a “cut-and-come-again” crop, or pull whole rosettes when they’re 10–15 cm across. Cool temperatures improve flavor and tenderness, and plants tolerate frost well (often sweeter after a chill). Pests are minimal, but watch for slugs/snails in wet seasons; good airflow and light morning watering help. For continuous harvest, sow a small batch every 2–3 weeks during the cool season.
