Horn of Plenty, also know as Doucette d’Alger, is a heat-loving cousin of Corn Salad, or Mâche. It's a tender green with a nutty flavour and pleasant bitterness. The pink flowers attract pollinators, and were a favourite of an endangered Western bumblebee in my garden this summer.
This plant is easy to grow, and will self seed readily. The seeds drop easily once they mature.
Horn of Plenty is wild green native to the Mediterranean and northern Africa, where it grows wild in olive groves and grain fields. It deserves to be grown more in North America!
30-40 days to edible leaves.
