French Sorrel (Rumex acetosa) , organic seed
French sorrel is a perennial, winter-hardy herbaceous plant with large, slightly wavy leaves. It is valued for its fresh, tangy, lemon-like flavor. Leaves should be harvested from the outer edges, allowing continuous growth throughout the season.The young leaves are excellent fresh in salads, soups, and herb mixtures. The plant grows 20–40 cm (8–16 inches) tall and is a light germinator, meaning its seeds require exposure to light to sprout.
Growing Guide
Sowing: Sow seeds early in spring, either directly outdoors or in a greenhouse. As a light germinator, the seeds should not be deeply buried—just lightly covered with soil.
Growing Conditions: Prefers a sunny to partially shaded location and moist, well-draining soil.
Watering: Requires moderate watering to prevent drying out, which can cause leaves to become bitter.
Harvesting: Pick leaves gradually from the outer edges. Younger leaves have the best flavor and tenderness.
Perennial Growth: French sorrel is cold-hardy and overwinters well, producing fresh leaves early in spring.
French sorrel is a hardy and easy-to-grow plant that adds a delicious tangy flavor to various dishes!
