Growing Tips

  1. Planting: Direct sow seeds in early spring or late summer for fall crops. Space seeds about 6 inches (15 cm) apart to allow for proper growth.
  2. Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Red Veined Sorrel prefers cooler temperatures, so ensure it has adequate moisture during warmer months.
  3. Fertilization: Use a balanced, organic fertilizer to promote healthy growth. Sorrel thrives in rich, well-drained soil.
  4. Harvesting: Harvest leaves when they are young for the mildest flavor. Older leaves will have a stronger, more tart taste. For continuous harvest, regularly trim the leaves, allowing new growth to replace them.
