Rumex sanguineus
Bright-green leaves with striking dark maroon stems and veins bring a burst of colour and tangy flavour to your salads. This sorrel variety offers the same sharp, refreshing taste you expect while adding unique visual appeal. It is particularly recommended for indoor production and is best harvested young to maintain tenderness and avoid toughness in larger leaves, making it perfect for fresh mixes.
