Sorrel Seeds- Blood-Veined- Heirloom Greens- 200+ Seeds

I bought these and regular French sorrel. Know that these take a little longer to grow. Once they started they took off and grew faster than my other variety I grew. I have small plants right now but they are healthy and doing well.

A bit smaller than the Odessa and Large Leaf I also started last year. Planted in slightly amended heavy clay soil and is doing really well. It was on of the first plants up this spring. There is a lot of variation in the separate plants in how much red the leafs have, but all are really attractive. They are tasty too. Quite a bit less "lemony" bite than the other varieties though.

I planted these in a large planter and they started sprouting within a week. I use Sorrel all the time for sauces, salads, and cooking. It is my favorite green to scatter over fish before I bake or broil it.For eating raw I harvest the baby leaves so they aren't so tart. Once the leaves are larger into the pot the go.Sorrell is a very bitter/tart plant (like ruhbarb), with an apple tastes, so when cooking it is best combined with some other ingredient (meaning you wouldn't just steam and eat like a spinach, kale or other green).There were plenty of seeds in this pack so I'll be able to transplant my potted plant into the ground and start a new plant. I can't wait to see if this spreads as quickly as my sorrell did from last year.

These are the only seeds out of those company that didn't grow at all. I'm going to try again next month and see what happens.

Unrecognizable weeds grew from these seeds. They weren't red veined sorrel, and they weren't even French or wood sorrel. Everything else I planted at the same time grew into what it should be (so it wasn't the soil or cross contamination). This was very clearly not the correct seed.

Pros:Very healthy (no disease or pest damage)Unique, attractiveCons:Slow growth

I would say 75-80% germination of the ones I planted. Beautiful plant with the red veins. They haven't gotten large enough yet to eat so I cant comment on flavor

These were a little slow to take off, but pretty hearty once established. They give a little zing to salads. Once they get hit by heat, they become a little bitter. This is a good one for the perennial garden
