About This Botanical

The Mild Mesclun Mix is a delicious blend of salad greens selected for color, texture, and gentle, crowd-pleasing flavor—the perfect introduction to cut-and-come-again gardening. Featuring a diverse mix of lettuces and mild greens that harvest beautifully at the baby leaf stage, this blend brings weeks of fresh salads from even a very small planting. One of the most productive and satisfying things a beginning or seasoned gardener can grow.

Growing Instructions: Broadcast or sow in rows—no thinning required. Begin cutting when leaves reach 3–4 inches, leaving 1 inch of growth so plants regrow. In cool weather a single planting produces 3–4 cuts. Succession sow every 2–3 weeks throughout spring and fall for continuous harvest.
