Plante de laitue sauvage (Lactuca virosa)
La laitue sauvage (Lactuca virosa), également appelée laitue à opium, est une plante herbacée bisannuelle de la famille des Astéracées, originaire d'Europe, d'Afrique du Nord et d'Asie. Cette plante caractéristique peut atteindre 1,80 mètre de hauteur dans des conditions optimales et se distingue par sa tige centrale épaisse et fibreuse, souvent teintée de rouge-pourpre.
L'une des caractéristiques les plus remarquables et recherchées de la laitue sauvage est sa sève. Lorsque les tiges ou les feuilles sont coupées ou cassées, elles laissent s'écouler un latex laiteux utilisé depuis longtemps pour ses propriétés sédatives et analgésiques. Ce latex contient des composés tels que la lactucine et la lactucopicrine, qui contribuent à ses usages médicinaux.
En phytothérapie, les extraits de Lactuca virosa sont utilisés pour traiter divers maux tels que l'insomnie, l'anxiété et la douleur. Dans certaines cultures, on l'utilise également pour ses effets psychoactifs, bien que son efficacité et son innocuité puissent varier considérablement.
La plante possède de longues feuilles vertes, parfois bleu-vert, aux bords dentelés ou ondulés et au toucher cireux. En grandissant, les feuilles inférieures tombent, laissant apparaître davantage les supérieures. Ses petites fleurs jaunes, semblables à des pissenlits, sont regroupées en grappes sur des tiges ramifiées et fleurissent de la fin du printemps au début de l'automne. La plante produit de petits fruits secs appelés akènes, dont la structure duveteuse favorise leur dissémination par le vent.
La laitue sauvage prospère dans un sol bien drainé, souvent en plein soleil ou à mi-ombre. Elle pousse généralement dans les terrains vagues, en bordure de route et dans les champs. Malgré son nom commun, elle n'est pas étroitement apparentée aux laitues cultivées dans les jardins, mais elle présente certaines similitudes visuelles.

Let customers speak for us
Good solution. The little flies have disappeared. We were sure to mist/moisten the surface of each plant once a day for 4 or 5 days, after the initial application of the nematodes, to keep the little guys mobile and able to get to any remaining eggs. So, go for it!
Plant was well packed and shipment was very fast. Received a very nice fully rooted plant in the pot!
The organic garden soil is doing very well in my garden bed. The company was professional, nice, and accommodating to my needs. They provide many types of things for your landscaping at a reasonable price.
Product was delivered promptly and the quality of the product was very good, as hoped for. I was thrilled to receive the product so quickly! Thank you!
Product is great. Didn't care for having to pay am extra $17 tariff to UPS to get it delivered, but I guess that's not your doing. Thank you Mr. President.
My new babay arrived safely and only lost two little leaves so far. The first one I ordered from different shop arrived with two leaves attached that fell off within ten minutes of unboxing and 22 leaves that had came off during shipping. So glad she arrived looking as beautiful as i was hoping. Also had a surprise red arrow syngonium cutting that’s beautiful. Also customer service was amazing. Will definitely order from them again. Hoghly recommend this shop.
Great flag and it works well on our hangar ceiling. A little worried it wouldn't arrive in time for our event but it did.
Enjoyed putting them together
I think I’m in love! This beauty came delicately packaged. Seemed to have no stress at all from shipping. I live in Miami, I was worried about shipping all the way from California. To my surprise she arrived well taken care of already. I can tell this grower takes pride in caring for these babies. Shipping was fast. I just ordered again same day!
Great service and great product. Delivery was quick. Good communication.
lovely olive jar, attractive to keep on display. And useful too.
Fast delivery . Product exactly matches description. Easy to contact with same day replies. We will use them again.
Great job from growing to shipping
Quality was excellent. Perfect for my Dad’s grave site, honoring a proud Marine.
Appreciate the extra effort to get the product to me when needed. The delivery was made with speed and consideration, very much appreciated
