A must-have excellent winter leaf of mild flavour and incredibly succulent, soft and juicy texture.. Winter purslane, also known as miners lettuce or claytonia, has heart-shaped elegant looking leaves which are small, abundant and make a great cut-and-come-again salad green. You will get a productive harvest all winter and early spring and if left to self seed, it will just keep coming back year after year.
It is one of those greens that come up in just the right moment when we’re most in need of something fresh and it self-manages very well which is why we like it too.

Claytonia ‘Winter Purslane’ tips: Sow seeds in well-watered shallow drills or broadcast sparsely; seeds and seedlings should be kept moist. Leave to flower and seed if you want plants to grow again the next season, otherwise dead head flowers as soon as they bloom.

We call the second half of summer the “Second Spring” as there is so much that can be sown which will provide you with tasty home-grown veg over the winter months.
Winter crops are really fun and easy to grow, and it’s really satisfying harvesting stuff over the winter.
It’s also great to spend time in your garden during all the different seasons as nature has so much to offer throughout the year.
Inside the Second Spring seed collection you’ll find ten of our favourite varieties for sowing later in the year. Each year we mix it up a bit as well as keeping some of the classics which you just can’t do without. It also comes with a handy full colour info-sheet about the varieties.
Our most exciting addition this year is our diverse breeding population ‘Kizuna’, a cross between Dazzling Blue Kale and Beni Houshi Mizuna.
