About Sorrel
Sorrel is a lemony, cold-hardy perennial green that returns year after year — one of the earliest greens in spring and nearly maintenance-free.
Direct sow in early spring. Harvest young leaves for salad (mild) or mature for cooking (tangier). Divide plants every few years. Cut flower stalks to keep leaves tender.
