Garden sorrel is cultivated variety with clear green leaves. This variety, Sorrel Green de Belleville, is slower bolting than the wild species. The relatively acid tang of the young succulent leaves gives zest to salads. Garden sorrel herb may also be cooked as spinach and makes a nice soup.
Grows this perennial herb plant in USDA Zones 3 – 7. Sorrel plants will reach 16 – 24 inches in height.
Sorrel is propagated from herb seeds, frequently sown in March or April, though it can be sown in any of the spring months.
Sow 3 – 4 sorrel herb seeds per plant, in drills 6 inches apart, and thin out when the plants are 1 or 2 inches high. When the stalks run up in July, they must be cut back.
The roots will then put out new leaves, to be able to be tender and better for kitchen use than the older leaves, in order that by cutting down the shoots of a few plants at different times, there will all the time be a supply of young leaves. Do away with flowering tops of sorrel to keep the leaves tender.
