* indicates a California native plant

*Claytonia perfoliata
miner's lettuce

Native to moist shady places, this beloved little ANNUAL is both attractive and nutritious. Renowned for its high vitamin C content, this edible green has a long history of use. A dependable reseeder, it will likely sustain itself given the right conditions and just a little help. Some see it as invasive, but this native has many charms. The bright green succulent leaves come in three forms starting with narrow, grass-like blades, then spade shaped and finally disc-shaped, perfoliate leaves which surround the clusters of small white flowers. Leave some to go to seed to ensure next years crop.
