Perennial 60 days to harvest Rumex acetosa

HEIRLOOM We love these bright lemony greens, impressively perennial and abundant! Sorrel is an heirloom French herb thriving in sun as well as partial sun in gardens and raised beds as well as containers. Perhaps most commonly added as a bright, last-minute addition to soups, we also tuck baby sorrel leaves in salad first thing in spring.

Would you love to receive these seeds? Rather than selling and shipping, we share seeds as an embodied gift practice.
