Growing Information:
Greens, Mache
CULTURE: Mache, also known as "lamb's lettuce" or "corn salad", grows well in cool or mild weather conditions. Mache can be planted anytime soil temperatures range from 41-68°F (5-20°C). Be careful not to sow if soil temperatures have exceeded 68°F (20°C). Temperatures greater than 70°F (21°C) will force the seed into dormancy. In northern latitudes mache can be grown year-round utilizing open field, cold greenhouse, and high tunnel systems. In southern areas mache is adapted for open field winter production. Sow 1" apart in rows 4-18" apart. Mache germinates slowly in 10-14 days.
HARVEST: Cut young rosettes (entire plants) at the root attachment when 2-3" tall. Mache can be used alone as a salad, or as a component of a salad mix.
