Wall Lettuce

Wall Lettuce (Mycelis muralis) is a perennial plant native to the Mediterranean and central Europe, ranging from Albania and Algeria to Ukraine and Yugoslavia. Known for its edible leaves, this plant thrives in various soil types including light sandy, medium, and heavy clay soils with a pH of 7–7.5. It is commonly found growing wild in dry or moist habitats across its native range, often near walls and buildings, hence its name. One distinctive feature of Wall Lettuce is its ability to grow up to 1 meter tall, making it an interesting ornamental addition to gardens while also providing a source of greens for those interested in edible landscaping.
