Description
Rumex acetosa
Scrumptious lemony leaves sprout forth from the plant’s winter slumber, welcoming the spring!
Unique, lemony-sour leaves are a delicious addition to cream soups and fish, and add a punch to salads and cocktails. Hardy perennial plants die back to the ground in winter, but leaves poke up from the cold ground very early in spring. A real mouth-awakening delight after a winter’s starchy slumber!
