Rumex acetosa
Sorrel is a hardy perennial green and one of the earliest edibles to sprout in spring. It is actually on the boarder of herb/greens. It has a very distinct lemon-like, tart flavor. It makes an excellent addition to soups, stews, can be braised or added raw to salads. Use it to add life to dishes with potatoes, grains, or mix it with other greens like spinach, kale, or chard to brighten the flavor with its natural acidity.
Sorrel is virtually care-free. It tolerates a wide-range of soils and conditions. In summer's heat, it may bolt (flower) in which case you can easily manage it by cutting back the flower heads.

Spread at maturity: 2-3'
Hardiness Zones: 2-9
Container Size: 5"D x 1"W (tube liner)
Height at time of sale: 4-6"
