French sorrel is a perennial, winter hardy herbaceous plant with large, slightly wavy leaves. Leaves should be harvested from the outside so that a succession of leaves can develop. The young leaves are excellent used fresh in salads, in soups and as a constituent of herb mixtures. Grows to 20-40 cm in height. Germinates in the light.
