Sheep Sorrel
Rumex acetosella
zones 2-6
100 seeds
Sheep Sorrel (Rumex acetosella) native to Eurasia and the British Isles, has naturalized throughout parts of Europe and North America. The plant has tart, green arrowhead-shaped leaves with red-tinted deeply ridged stems. The abundant, tiny, red flowers emerge from a tall, upright stem.
Since stored seed is more difficult to germinate, direct sowing seeds in autumn brings the most success, as long as you experience temperatures of 40 degrees F or below for a good part of the winter.
Start Sheep Sorrel from seeds indoors about 6-8 weeks before the last predicted frost. Sow the seeds in normal potting soil, and put the plant in a warm, sunny location. In about 14-21 days, the seeds will begin to germinate.
