Sorrel Buckler-Leaf (Rumex scutatus) Herb in 9cm Pot
Sorrel Buckler Leaf, also known as French sorrel and “Lemon in a Leaf”, is a low-growing, creeping sorrel. It's easy to grow, producing masses of delicious, tangy leaves, which are best eaten raw in salads. This hardy perennial can even withstand freezing winters. Once established, it can be treated as a 'cut and come again' crop. Harvest only young & tender leaves, you can cut off all the leaves & it will rejuvenate the plant. Cut off any flower stalks that appear.
Buckler Leaf Sorrel, enjoys a sunny or partially shaded position, and will flourish in most soil types. As with all Sorrel it is easy to propagate, either by seed in the spring or division in the autumn or spring every 3-5 years. Easy to grow, producing clumps of pale green leaves with a good lemon flavour, and once established the plant should produce greens for 8 to 10 years.
Herb Usage
When picked young, the leaves are very mild tasting; the flavour intensifies with age, so you can pick it at the right tanginess level for your palate. Cooked, the tartness subsides. It can be harvested at baby leaf stage and is a great lettuce substitute .

Sorrel
I wanted to buy this particular sorrel and this was the only place that seemed to sell it. I had not bought anything from you before but I bought a few other herbs as well (the range is great). Arrived 2 days after I ordered them - all good sturdy plants and beautifully packed. So pleased I have ordered some more.

Buckler Leaf Sorrel
Perfectly Happy with the delivery and the plant condition. We split the plant into several smaller plants (in a medium tub with compost). All seems well after 2 weeks of growth in the garden.
