{"product_id":"wild-lettuce-lactuca-virosa","title":"Wild lettuce Lactuca virosa","description":"\u003cp\u003eWild Lettuce is a fascinating herbaceous plant prized for its medicinal benefits and distinct appearance. Growing up to 6 feet tall, this hardy biennial features serrated, spiny leaves and small, dandelion-like yellow flowers that bloom in the summer. The plant exudes a milky sap, known as lactucarium, which has been traditionally used for its sedative and pain-relieving properties, earning it the nickname \"opium lettuce.\" Thriving in full sun to partial shade, wild lettuce is relatively low-maintenance and adapts well to various soil conditions, including poor, rocky soils. While it prefers moist soil, it can tolerate dry spells, making it a resilient addition to herb gardens and wildflower plots. Not just medicinal, this plant is also a draw for pollinators, adding ecological value to its many uses. Whether for its striking form or historical herbal use, wild lettuce makes a unique and purposeful addition to any garden.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Earthcare Seeds","offers":[{"title":"50 Seeds \/ Green","offer_id":48371656327413,"sku":"ECSWLLV50X","price":49.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/8274\/2261\/files\/Wild-Lettuce-lactuca-virosa-close.jpg?v=1783357290","url":"https:\/\/nortrano.com\/products\/wild-lettuce-lactuca-virosa","provider":"nortrano","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
