Heirloom French Sorrel Seeds – Tangy Lemon Herb for Garden (100 Count)

Heirloom French Sorrel is a hardy perennial herb prized for its bright, tangy lemon flavor and tender, spinach-like leaves. Also known as garden sorrel or Rumex acetosa, this old-fashioned culinary herb has been grown in European kitchen gardens for centuries. Its refreshing, citrusy leaves are a favorite for soups, sauces, salads, and fish dishes, and they add a lively accent to herb beds, borders, and container gardens.

French Sorrel is easy to grow and productive, forming neat clumps of arrow-shaped green leaves that can be harvested repeatedly through the season. It is a rewarding choice for herb gardeners, permaculture plantings, and anyone who enjoys fresh, distinctive flavors straight from the garden.

Planting & Care

Sow French Sorrel seeds indoors 4 to 6 weeks before the last frost, or direct sow in the garden once the soil has warmed. Press seeds lightly into the soil surface and keep them moist, as light aids germination. Thin or transplant seedlings to about 12 to 18 inches apart so plants have room to develop.

Grow French Sorrel in rich, moist, well-drained soil in full sun to partial shade. Water regularly during dry spells and remove flower stalks to encourage continued leaf production. Harvest outer leaves as needed, leaving the center of the plant to keep growing. In cold climates, mulch plants in winter for added protection.
