Red Veined Sorrel (Rumex sanguineus) - 9cm

Red Veined Sorrel / Bloodwort / Wood Dock

Rumex sanguineus

Attractive rosettes of green, ovate leaves with bright red veins, this plant is mainly grown for it's foliage. Remove the flower heads to maintain the red leaf veins.

This plant will die back to its basket for winter, and begin growing again in the spring. Trim off brown stems/leaves in the autumn to tidy it up.

The recommended depth in water is calculated as the distance between the top of the basket and the water surface. Therefore "0" would be the basket rim at the water surface.
