Garden sorrel is a leafy, erect plant that forms large, dense clusters when in bloom. The lance shaped leaves are smooth and upright with a lemony flavor. Sorrel can be used in soups, salads and when cooking fish.

  • Planting Information:
    When and where to plant: May be planted either Spring or Fall. Sow seed direct in moist, iron-rich soil. Plants should be 12 inches apart.
    Care: Keep well-drained. May be cut to the ground once or twice per season, but then should be immediately fed and watered.
    Harvesting: Gather leaves as desired. Young leaves need only brief cooking, while mature leaves may be very tart and require several changes of cooking water.
    Storage: Store seed in cool, dry place. Heat and moisture can severely reduce germination.
