The leaf is fresh green with a red vein and stem. Suitable for all types of soil. One bag is for approximately 4m2, and the planting distance is 20x2cm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e Blood sorrel 'Red Stripe' brings a healthy variation to the contemporary kitchen. The young, fresh green leaves are beautifully round with a decorative red vein and stem. It gives trendy salads a nice juicy sour taste and can also be used as a garnish. When the leaves are fully grown, they become lance-shaped and can be used in stews, soups or as a substitute for spinach. Cut the leaves just above the ground, this stimulates the growth of new leaves. Do not harvest them too old, because then they taste considerably more sour and can even become slightly bitter. \u003cbr\u003eFor the harvest of young, tender and fresh green leaves, blood sorrel can best be grown as baby leaf by sowing high densities (20x2 cm). When growing baby leaf, you sow again every year. Keep in mind the slow germination and development of the plant; blood sorrel grows considerably slower than spinach sorrel. However, once the crop gets going, it becomes very productive. Blood sorrel thrives in all types of soil, but does not like extreme heat and drought. Therefore, provide sufficient water.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Blood sorrel is also suitable as a perennial. For perennial cultivation, keep a wider planting distance (20x20 cm) and let the crop grow slowly - the first harvest will then be at the end of the summer. In the second year, harvesting can already take place early in the spring. When the plant starts to flower, cut off the shoots; these often result in tough leaves. If the crop still shoots, cut the plant back to the base, so that young leaves will grow again in the autumn.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eDirect sowing: Apr-Jul\u003cbr\u003e Harvest: Jun-Oct\u003cbr\u003e Planting distance: 20x2 cm\u003cbr\u003e Soil: all types of soil\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Plukkers.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53745549017414,"sku":"8717202606894","price":3.1,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/3924\/7942\/files\/3315.png?v=1732708539","url":"https:\/\/plukkers.com\/en\/products\/bloedzuring-red-stripe-bio-zaden","provider":"PLUKKERS","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
