| Summary: | This document introduces corn salad (Valerianella locusta), also known as lamb’s lettuce or fetticus, a mild-flavored leafy green used in salads or as a cooking green. It describes the plant’s rosette-shaped leaves, cultivation practices suited to Florida’s cool seasons, and its compatibility with other greens. Although it is typically grown like lettuce or endive, trial plantings in Gainesville showed limited success. Original publication date May 1994.
