Verte de Cambrai is "Dunkelgrüner vollherziger 2" type, but this corn salad has somewhat lighter green and larger leaves than Verte à coeur plein 2 and has a compact rosette forming growth. Quick growing and winter hardy. Late to bolt, hence a long harvesting season. Healthy and resistant. Very good, rich flavour.

Seed germination temperature: 10-15 °CPlanting distance: direct sowing ca. 10-30 x 1 cm

(downy mildew). If spores are discovered, the effected lot is given warm water treatment. This ensures the destruction of infective spores. However we cannot guarantee that a corn salad crop grown from our seeds will not be infested with mildew and Phoma. Infections like these may have different causes such as cultivation methods, soil or climate conditions.
