Red veined leaf green sorrel Rumex sanguineus

Regularly used at baby leaf stage. This is one of our favorite ornamental edibles! Fast and easy to grow, the brilliantly contrasting color of crimson veins on green leaves look stunning both growing and on the plate. Its tangy, sharp, citrus flavor adds spark to salads. We recommend successive plantings to keep the harvests of tender, young leaves continuous. Allowed to mature, the texture becomes tougher, so add the more developed plants to your ornamental beds. It looks right at home in a flower border or container if you don't have space for a vegetable patch. This a perrential herb and will continue to delight you for many seasons.
