Sorrel Green
£6.50
notes
A perennial herb with a sharp, lemony taste, the baby leaves of Sorrel should be used sparingly in a salad, but they also work well with fish or in soups and can be cooked like spinach. Harvest in the ‘cut and come again’ manner. The plant looks similar to a dock (a close relative) and bears a tall flower spike.
Dimensions
- Pot Size: 1L (14cm / 6in)
- Height and Spread: 30cm (11in) x 30cm (11in)
