Description
Winterportulak is a hardy winter vegetable. Its tender, juicy, mild leaves grow when little else is present in the garden. The distinctive plate‑shaped leaves surround the flower head and taste refreshingly mild when eaten raw in salads. The plant remains green and harvestable even under snow.
Care instructions
Sow from August to October in a wide, flat bed, preferably under a fleece or in a cold greenhouse. Water during dry autumn weeks; thereafter the plant requires little care. Harvest from November through spring by cutting the rosettes just above the ground several times; the plant reliably regrows.
Companion planting
Good neighbours
