Common garden sorrel is a cold-hardy perennial herb that thrives in full sun where it gets lots of water or partial shade with moderate water.
It likes rich, loamy soil. At its best in cool temperatures, it may die down in the heat of summer. With a lemony flavor, fresh use is best. Sucking on sorrel leaves is said to alleviate thirst.

The seeds arrived quickly but we did not receive part of our order. We are still waiting for the ones we received to grow so too early for full review.
