Sorrel, Common (Rumex acetosa) Seeds

A wildflower with a lot of flavour! Spice up the garden with slender spires of small, scarlet blooms, which sometimes grow in a sweeter pink colour. It also bears attractive, oval leaves that taste tart when eaten. Self-seeds freely, so take care while you pepper them around.
