Rumex acetosa
Description
HEIRLOOM We love these bright lemony greens, impressively perennial and abundant! Sorrel is an heirloom French herb thriving in sun as well as partial sun in gardens and raised beds as well as containers. Perhaps most commonly added as a bright, last-minute addition to soups, we also tuck baby sorrel leaves in salad first thing in spring.
At Fruition, we sow sorrel indoors in soil blocks six weeks before final frost, transplanting out after final frost with one foot between plants.
