Plant Passport Registration Number: GB147173 Please read our notes before placing the order: 1. The pictures in this listing are examples of the available plant at maturity and do not indicate anything in regard to size of plant at the point of sale. You will receive an organically produced young plant grown in a 9cm pot for planting immediately or to grow on (pot removed, when possible, to reduce plastic waste) 2. Seasonal difference in plants: Please be aware if you are new to gardening, that the plants we supply are mostly herbaceous perennials and many go dormant in winter. You may receive what looks like an empty pot or piece of root. This will produce new growth in spring. 3. The date the Royal mail label is bought (tracking number added as sent against your orders) is the date your order is lined up for picking. It is likely to be put into the post a couple of days later. Thank you.
Sheep's sorrel is a common native perennial found on heaths, grassland, and roadsides. It can also be found growing in gardens with dry, sandy, well-drained acid soils, where it can be left to grow in flower-rich lawns. The lemon-like flavoured leaves of sheep's sorrel can be eaten fresh in salads or cooked. They contain high levels of oxalic acid, which is responsible for their tart flavour, and so should only be eaten in small quantities. Sheep's sorrel mainly spreads by underground roots but produces abundant seed, making it a troublesome perennial weed of dry, sandy, well-drained acid gardens.
