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.
