Garden sorrel seeds produce a hardy, perennial leafy plant with upright, clump-forming growth and smooth green leaves. This variety is well suited to cool to moderate climates and grows reliably in garden beds, raised beds, and containers. It prefers fertile, well-drained soil with consistent moisture and performs best under full sun to partial shade. Garden sorrel establishes quickly and supports repeated leaf harvesting throughout the growing season.
