This low-growing, ground-hugging plants display short, thick stems and rosettes of dark, shiny, oval, or egg-shaped leaves measuring about 6 inches (15 cm.) long and 4 inches (10 cm.) wide. A leafless stalk rising above the plant sports spiky clusters of tiny, green flowers in late summer.

The entire plantain plant, including the roots, is edible. The tender leaves can be lightly boiled like spinach or used fresh in salads.

Plant seeds directly in the garden in spring or start them indoors a few weeks ahead of time. A week of chilling time in the refrigerator (stratification) helps ensure germination.


PLANTING INSTRUCTIONS:

Direct seed in the fall or before last frost. If starting indoors, cold stratify seed for 7 days, then start indoors 6-8 weeks before last frost, plant out after frost. Grows better than most plants in compacted soil. Because seed can remain viable in soil from 10 to over 50 years and it can spread to become a common weed, consider planting away from your garden.
