Gardeners Cottage Red Sorrel Salad Leaf

Gardeners Cottage Blakeney Red Sorrel Salad Leaf

• An very easy to grow and reliable early spring perennial salad leaf that can be sown from March to November and once you have it in a vegetable garden you will never be without it as it reliably self-seeds. The young seedlings are easy to spot by their distinctive colour, and can be transplanted into salad beds as required.
• A great addition to salad leaf mixes with vibrant red stems and leaf veins, red sorrel is very mild when young and by using a cut and come again harvesting method the plants will continue to produce young leaves which can be harvested into July
• Mild lemon sorrel taste, not hot or peppery, mixes very well with our salad leaves and looks wonderful on the plate or in a leaf salad mix with rocket and lambs lettuce
• My personal favorite oas its perennial and keeps harvesting for years.
• If left plants grow to 4 feets and produce massive seed stems resembling seeding dock plants
  
• Traditional cottage vegetable garden favorite
• Self-seeds abundantly when established
• Very easy to grow, and can be sown directly by scattering them on the surface where you want them to germinate. 
• Seed sown in autumn out-doors will germinate quickly and plants will over-winter before thickening up into cut-able heads or frilly red salad leaves the following spring
  
• Does well in full sun and well-drained soil, Protect from birds while young
