Sorrel - Common The Sorrel or Common Sorrel, 'Rumex acetosa', is a hardy perennial. The Sorrel leaves have a sharp, lemon/spinach flavor and is one of the earliest spring greens. Sorrel is an underutilized vegetable in the United States and unjustifiably so. Sorrel is very high in Vitamin C and has many uses. Once you try Sorrel, it will become as regular a garden plant as spinach. The Sorrel plant is 12 to 36 inches tall and has large, crinkled, arrow-shaped leaves. The plant is also called Sour Dock, Herb Patience, and Patience Dock. Plant the Sorrel 2 weeks before the average last frost date. In mild climates, Sorrel can be planted in the fall. Sorrel prefers a moderately acid soil and the soil needs to be kept moist for the best flavor and production. Cut older, yellow leaves off to encourage the young, tender, healthy growth.
