Red Veined Sorrel

$2.00

Approximate seeds per pack: 250
Days till maturity: 50
Annual
Cold Tolerant
Container Friendly

One of the most cold-hardy greens we have ever grown. Most often these will overwinter without any protection and just keep growing in the spring. High in antioxidants and vitamins, make these excellent in salads and add a very unique twist to salads. Great for all seasons gardening and those with low light as these only require around 4 hours of sun to survive. Red-veined sorrel have stunning red veins running through deep green leaves that never get larger than a few inches in length.

      Growing this in Houston, TX, in an area that only receives afternoon sun. I planted the seeds in January in 2 rows. It is April and doing very well. It seems to be versatile as it withstood mid-teen freezes, 2 days of snow, and recent hotter weather hitting mid 80s. Easy to grow and enjoyable flavor. The taste similar to rhubarb.

      DFW TX area. Partial shade. Started in pots after 90F weather(late summer/early fall). Great germination rate. Looks beautiful. Don’t care for the taste much. Might try cooking them. Seems to grow long with cut and come again method. Will likely give seeds to friends or use as ornamental plants.

      Best germination rates I’ve seen from sorrel so far and the leaves are beautiful.

      Love this green! Planted them last fall and they were champs through the winter. Very small and dainty in the early stages. Looks beautiful in the garden and in salads. Would make a pretty addition to a planter. Everyone loves the lemony taste of them. Now that the heat is on, they have turned tough and bitter. So now I add them to my green smoothy for the nutrient density. I thought I remember Luke saying he treats these like an perennial and when the cool weather returns, they will be edible again and will thrive during the cold fall and winter. I hope that is the case and I will leave them to try out that theory 😉

      I grew these with winter sowing and they germinated really well. They look beautiful enough to be a decorative plant. The taste is okay.

      I was able to easily grow this and harvest near continuously from late spring through fall in Mid Michigan. A tasty green to add to salads or soups for a little bit extra! I preferred to harvest the leaves when they were a about `1 to 2 inches long to keep the flavor slightly ore mild.

      A solid, reliable producer, good germination, and perennial, so I’ll probably give away the rest of the seeds!

      I was so excited to grow this as I love regular sorrel. Germination rate was excellent, it is beautiful, tasted great for a few weeks but with heat and into fall became unpalatably bitter rather than the tart sorrel I am used to. 🙁

      Love these greens but make sure to germinate them on the recommended temperature. I tried at November in zone 8 outside and it did not work.
