Winter purslane is a really useful and under-valued plant that can provide you with a bounty of mild salad leaves throughout the year. While it can actually be harvested for many months, it really comes into its own throughout the winter when it is a real bonus to get fresh homegrown harvests.
Also known by names such as claytonia or miner’s lettuce, winter purslane are small plants that grow leaves and stems no more than eight inches tall. It grows very quickly and the leaves and stems are all edible.
