Cultivation method Red veined sorrel

Sowing Red veined sorrel
Sow the organic Red veined sorrel seeds from April to August directly in the open ground.

Harvesting Red veined sorrel
Harvest organic Red veined sorrel from May to October. Cut/cut theRed veined sorrel a few centimeters above the ground. The plant then continues to grow.

For the harvest of young, tender and fresh green leaves,Red veined sorrel is best grown as a baby leaf by sowing high densities (20x2 cm). With baby leaf cultivation you sow again every year. Keep in mind the slow germination and development of the plant; Red veined sorrelgrows considerably slower than spinach sorrel. However, once the crop gets going, it becomes very productive. Red veined sorrel thrives in all types of soil, but does not like extreme heat and drought. Therefore make sure you have enough water.

Sorrel is also suitable as a perennial. For a perennial crop, keep a wider planting distance (20x20 cm) and allow the crop to mature slowly; the first harvest will then be at the end of the summer. The second year can be harvested early in the spring. When the plant is about to flower, cut off the shoots; these often cause tough leaves. If the crop still shoots, cut the plant to the base, so that young leaves will grow again in the autumn.
