Claytonia, or miner's lettuce, is a cool-season annual leafy green native to western North America. It grows as a tender, shallow-rooted rosette for baby-leaf or cut-and-come-again harvests, favoring cool, moist, partly shaded conditions and declining as hot spring weather arrives. Species-specific hydroponic NPK ppm targets are not available, so fertility should stay conservative and evidence-labeled.
