Sorrel - Key Growing Information
SCIENTIFIC NAME:
Rumex spp.
CULTURE:
Sorrel is a hardy perennial, though you can also grow it as an annual. TRANSPLANTING: Start seed indoors in cell-type containers , 2–3 seeds per cell, under ¼" of soil.
DIRECT SEEDING:
Plant in fertile soil any time from mid-spring to midsummer. Baby leaf: scatter 3–5 seeds per inch in rows 2" or more apart, and cut whole plants above the basal plate at 3–6" tall. Bunching: plant ¼" deep and 1" apart, thinning to 8" in rows 12–18" apart. Light shade and cutting off seed stalks improve summer quality, and even bolted plants regrow well in fall. Pick outer leaves until plants are well established, then cut whole plants just above the crown. Sorrel spreads, so clumps can be divided.
DAYS TO MATURITY:
Counted from direct sowing; take off about 14 days for transplants.
SEED SPECS:
