Red veined sorrel seeds produce a compact, perennial leafy plant with low-growing, clump-forming habit and distinctive green leaves marked by red veins. This variety is well suited to cool to moderate climates and performs well in garden beds, borders, and containers. It prefers fertile, well-drained soil with consistent moisture and adapts to both full sun and partial shade. Red veined sorrel establishes steadily and supports repeated leaf harvesting over an extended growing season.
