Water consistently – about 1 inch per week – to prevent bitterness and bolting. Mulch to conserve moisture and keep roots cool. Plant in early spring or late summer to avoid hot weather, which causes bolting. Provide afternoon shade in warmer climates for best color and quality. Practice succession planting every 2 weeks for continuous harvest. Companion plant with radishes, carrots, or herbs for optimal garden health.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy Choose Bronze Mignonette\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis French heirloom offers exceptional beauty with its bronze-red coloring, compact size perfect for small gardens, and buttery texture that elevates any salad.
