Description
The 'Belleville' Broad Sorrel is a high-yielding variety, providing large light green leaves. This hardy perennial vegetable plant is easy to grow and can remain in place for several years: it is ideal for permaculture. In cooking, the raw or cooked leaves will add a tangy note to your dishes. Sow from March to May.
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 has aromatic leaves, rich in vitamin C and beta-carotene, and can be prepared and cooked like spinach. When cooked, it adds a slight tang to fish, pies, and soups. Its young and tender leaves can be consumed raw in salads.
Harvesting: Sorrel is a perennial plant that can remain in place for several years. It is harvested as needed, either in the juvenile stage or when fully ripe. Harvesting is done leaf by leaf, by hand or with a knife.
Storage: Sorrel is best consumed immediately after harvesting as it does not keep well. However, it can be frozen once cooked.
Gardener's tip: To reduce watering, we recommend mulching the soil with thin successive layers of grass clippings, preferably mixed with dead leaves, starting from late May. This protective layer helps keep the soil moist and 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 30cm (12in) apart, and sow in rows by placing a seed every 3-4centimetres (1-2 inches). When the plants are large enough to handle, thin them out, keeping only one plant every 15cm (6in) for harvesting as "young shoots" or every 30cm (12in) for ripeness 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.
