Description
Common Sorrel Plug Plants Rumex acetosa
Common names include garden sorrel and sour ducks.
With upright slender leaves and attractive spikes of numerous small red flowers, common sorrel is a great addition to your garden or wildflower meadow.
The leaves of this native perennial are edible and their tart taste can be added to salads, soups and stews.
Our strong, healthy plants are grown in 40cc cell trays and are ready to be planted in their final position.
Sourced from native seed and grown for us in the UK, our plug plants are an ideal way to boost species in a wildflower meadow or to easily establish plants in your garden or in areas where seed germination can be erratic.
We recommend planting 5 plugs per metre square in groups of at least 3 per species for a naturalistic look.
