Sorrel
Rumex acetosa
Sorrel is a leafy herb with tangy, acidic, slightly sour leaves that have a sharp citrus note.
Harvest sorrel as needed throughout the growing season. The young foliage is the most tender. Remove any seed stocks that start to appear to keep your plant productive. Sorrel is a perennial, but tends to be short-lived.
Sorrel grows best in full to part sun with fertile, moist, well-drained soils. Consider adding organic matter to your garden to improve drainage and soil fertility.
Seasonal Availability: Typically available April through June, depending on suppliers availability.
