Minutina (Plantago coronopus) – 150+ Seeds

Also known as Buck's Horn Plantain or Erba Stella

Minutina is an unusual and gourmet leafy green prized for its slender, horn-shaped leaves that resemble deer antlers. With a crisp texture and mildly nutty, slightly salty flavour, it’s a favourite in Italian cuisine and gaining popularity among chefs and market gardeners for its visual appeal and versatility.

Plants form low-growing rosettes, typically reaching 15–25 cm in height. Minutina grows well in full sun to part shade and prefers well-drained soil. It’s a cool-season crop that performs well in autumn and spring, tolerating light frosts and continuing to produce in mild winters.

Delicious fresh in salads, or lightly sautéed. A unique addition to the edible garden that’s both decorative and productive.
