Sorrel - Lyoński - Rumex acetosa - Quick growth and harvest, delicate flavour - Fresh Seeds

Sorrel Lyoński ( Rumex acetosa ) is one of the most popular choices, valued for its gentle, refreshing tart flavour. It produces large, light green leaves that regrow quickly after picking, so you can enjoy fresh sorrel over many seasons. This is an easy to grow perennial, ideal for a home garden. The young leaves are a great addition to soups, salads, and sauces, giving dishes a distinctive taste and a natural source of vitamins.

Sowing depth

Sow the seeds at a depth of about 1 cm. This covering helps keep the right level of moisture and supports even germination.

Direct sowing outdoors

Sow sorrel from April to July, when the soil is warm and moist. In these conditions, the seeds sprout quickly and the young plants build strength for steady growth.

Spacing

Keep a spacing of about 30 x 40 cm. This gives each plant enough room for roots and leaves to develop well, resulting in healthy, vigorous growth.

Harvest period

Harvests run from April through to October. Regular cutting encourages the plant to produce new leaves, providing fresh sorrel for most of the growing season.

Growing tips

Sorrel Lyoński can grow in one spot for many years without demanding care. It prefers a sunny or partly shaded position and fertile, slightly moist soil. It is a great choice if you enjoy a natural flavour and want reliable results with minimal effort.
