Leaf Vegetables

Leaf vegetables – open‑pollinated seeds for traditional, historic and rare leafy and cut‑vegetable types, as well as distinctive cultivated forms. Versatile, robust and characterful plants that develop tender leaves, rosettes or heads and enrich mixed‑crop systems. Ideal for cultivation in gardens, raised beds, balconies and sunny to semi‑shaded beds. Depending on the species, sowing is carried out either by direct sowing or pre‑cultivation – from spring to winter.
