A delightful native plant prized for its sweet, mild flavour and succulent texture. Thriving in cool, shaded conditions, it’s one of the earliest greens to appear in the spring—sometimes as early as January on the BC coast. This annual is known for its charming round leaves with central flower stems and its ability to self-seed abundantly

These seeds grew so beautifully! When they sprout, they really go for it. I can only do container gardening where I live, but now I have a pot overflowing with tasty green miner's lettuce brightening up a spot by my door. I harvested half just this morning for salads.
A few leaves did turn a little red at their tips on hot days, around 30°C, but it didn't become a problem. Keep this plant well watered and it should be happy. Definitely recommended.
