Decent germination rate
I bought these and regular French sorrel. Know that these take a little longer to grow. Once they started they took off and grew faster than my other variety I grew. I have small plants right now but they are healthy and doing well.

My favorite green plan in the garden -- a cross between a herb and a veg. Excellent germination.
I planted these in a large planter and they started sprouting within a week. I use Sorrel all the time for sauces, salads, and cooking. It is my favorite green to scatter over fish before I bake or broil it.For eating raw I harvest the baby leaves so they aren't so tart. Once the leaves are larger into the pot the go.Sorrell is a very bitter/tart plant (like ruhbarb), with an apple tastes, so when cooking it is best combined with some other ingredient (meaning you wouldn't just steam and eat like a spinach, kale or other green).There were plenty of seeds in this pack so I'll be able to transplant my potted plant into the ground and start a new plant. I can't wait to see if this spreads as quickly as my sorrell did from last year.

Not good
Disappointing seeds. Probably about 10% germinated and mold grew in my jute pad, which hasn’t happened with seeds sourced els

Great plant
A bit smaller than the Odessa and Large Leaf I also started last year. Planted in slightly amended heavy clay soil and is doing really well. It was on of the first plants up this spring. There is a lot of variation in the separate plants in how much red the leafs have, but all are really attractive. They are tasty too. Quite a bit less "lemony" bite than the other varieties though.

Beautiful plant but bitter
Excellent germination, easy to grow, but the leaves are really bitter, not at all like citrucy flavor of green sorrel.

Beautiful and delicious
Great crop and taste. Very beautiful addition to my garden. I seeded into grow bags with success. Would recommend.

A little zing for your salads
These were a little slow to take off, but pretty hearty once established. They give a little zing to salads. Once they get hit by heat, they become a little bitter. This is a good one for the perennial garden

Few seeds germinated; grows poorly
I bought these in addition to the French Sorrel I usually get and was disappointed. My container with French Sorrel is thick with growth whereas this one has a few small clumps growing. Dunno why.
