Sorrel Seeds- Blood-Veined- Heirloom Greens- 200+ Seeds

Awesome seeds! Over planted because I was unsure regarding germination rate because of previous purchases of seeds from other sellers. They all germinated! I'll definitely purchase again from this seller.

They grew a bit slowly indoors with 22 hours a day of sun, they have a mild citrusy taste

A bit smaller than the Odessa and Large Leaf I also started last year. Planted in slightly amended heavy clay soil and is doing really well. It was on of the first plants up this spring. There is a lot of variation in the separate plants in how much red the leafs have, but all are really attractive. They are tasty too. Quite a bit less "lemony" bite than the other varieties though.

I planted these in a large planter and they started sprouting within a week. I use Sorrel all the time for sauces, salads, and cooking. It is my favorite green to scatter over fish before I bake or broil it. For eating raw I harvest the baby leaves so they aren't so tart. Once the leaves are larger into the pot the go. Sorrell is a very bitter/tart plant (like ruhbarb), with an apple tastes, so when cooking it is best combined with some other ingredient (meaning you wouldn't just steam and eat like a spinach, kale or other green). There were plenty of seeds in this pack so I'll be able to transplant my potted plant into the ground and start a new plant. I can't wait to see if this spreads as quickly as my sorrell did from last year.

The germination rate on these seeds was not very well. I wouldn’t even say it was 50% not only that they take a very very long time to grow and need a lot of care. I ended up with three plants out of the whole bag and it took about four months to get them there.

I don't leave bad reviews... I'm a gardener by hobby; have been for years. I've grown about everything under the sun, including french sorrel. I was really excited to try this color variety. I got my seeds in, tried germinating and failed. Did research, tried again, and they never sprouted. The third and final batch never germinated, even with perfectly crafted conditions in my nursery. I don't recommend buying your seeds from here.

Good products!

These were a little slow to take off, but pretty hearty once established. They give a little zing to salads. Once they get hit by heat, they become a little bitter. This is a good one for the perennial garden
