A portion of the packet sown, good germination, hoping that the heat doesn't cause any damage, I'm waiting for the seedlings to reach several centimeters before mulching. Thank you Promesse de Fleurs for the selection of young plants!

Description
The Blood Veined Sorrel is a variety of sorrel that stands out for its light green foliage, veined with blood red. Raw, sorrel brings a tangy note to mixed salads, but it can also be cooked to flavour sauces and fish. It is a perennial vegetable plant that is sown from March to May for a harvest from May to August.
The Common Sorrel, Rumex acetosa, is a perennial vegetable plant native to Europe and Asia. It belongs to the Polygonaceae family and naturally thrives in cool, rather heavy and acidic soil. It is a plant with aromatic leaves, rich in vitamin C and beta-carotene, which is prepared and cooked like spinach. Cooked, it adds a touch of acidity to fish, pies, and soups. Its young and tender leaves can be consumed raw in salads.
Harvest: Sorrel is a perennial plant that can stay in place for several years. It is harvested as needed, either in the juvenile stage or at maturity. The harvest is done leaf by leaf, by hand or with a knife.
Storage: Sorrel is best consumed immediately after harvest as it does not store well. However, it freezes very well once cooked.
Gardener's tip: To limit watering, we recommend, from late May, mulching the soil with thin successive layers of clippings, if possible mixed with dead leaves. This protection, which keeps the soil moist, also reduces weed growth.

Planting and care
Sowing:
Sowing is done in shade or partial shade, in moist, fertile and well-prepared soil.
Directly in open ground from March to May, trace furrows one centimetre deep, spaced 30 cm (12in) apart, and sow in rows by placing a seed every 3-4 centimetres (1-2 inches). When the plants are large enough to handle, thin them out, keeping only one plant every 15 cm (6in) for harvesting as "young shoots", or every 30cm (12in) for mature harvest.
Cultivation:
Remember to regularly water sorrel during dry periods to keep the soil moist. Young Sorrel leaves can be harvested 6 to 8 weeks after sowing. Regular harvesting stimulates the production of new leaves.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, etc.)
It will vary according to where you live:- In zones 9 to 10 (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), flowering will occur about 2 to 4 weeks earlier.
- In zones 6 to 7 (Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and lower mountainous regions), flowering will be delayed by 2 to 3 weeks.
- In zone 5 (Central Europe, Scandinavia), blooming will be delayed by 3 to 5 weeks.
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands).
It will vary according to where you live:
- In Mediterranean zones (Marseille, Madrid, Milan, etc.), autumn and winter are the best planting periods.
- In continental zones (Strasbourg, Munich, Vienna, etc.), delay planting by 2 to 3 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 2 to 4 weeks in autumn.
- In mountainous regions (the Alps, Pyrenees, Carpathians, etc.), it is best to plant in late spring (May-June) or late summer (August-September).
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
