Beautiful, architectural and edible, with the sharp taste of lemons, this container salad brightener is ideal for winter and spring picking, going dormant in late summer, to regrow again the following year.

I love it on a cool windowledge or greenhouse with other winter salad where it serves as an ornamental as well as an edible plant.
