What customers say
Customers highly value the Sorrel Blood Veined Seed for its exceptional aesthetic quality, noting the vibrant red veining makes it perfect for specialty dishes. The flavor delivers the expected sharp, lemony tang essential to true sorrel. While the resulting perennial plant is considered a worthwhile culinary asset, initial germination requires attention. Many experienced growers achieve success with indoor starting or cold stratification, but direct sowing can yield inconsistent results. Those who master the specific planting requirements praise Harris Seeds for reliable viability once optimal conditions are met. The consensus is that this premium variety demands careful handling but rewards growers with unique, high quality produce.
