Sheep's Sorrel Plug Plants Rumex acetosella

Common names include field sorrel and red sorrel.

Sheep’s sorrel is a hardy, low-maintenance perennial that brings a unique, tangy flavour and a vibrant touch to your garden. Known for its arrow-shaped leaves and small, reddish-brown flower clusters, sheep’s sorrel thrives in a variety of garden styles, from wildflower meadows to herb gardens. Its tart, lemony taste makes it a popular addition to salads, while its deep green foliage adds texture and contrast to the landscape.

Sheep’s sorrel prefers well-drained soil and sunny to partially shaded spots, making it adaptable and easy to grow. Grow it for its culinary uses or for its striking presence in your garden or meadow.

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.
