In this manner, does sorrel come back every year?
Sorrel is a cool-season perennial often grown as an annual. Sorrel is often grown from root divisions.
When the plant begins to toughen and mature, the leaves can be cooked like spinach or used in stir-fries. The lemony tang of sorrel makes a great addition to salads. As the leaves get bigger they can be cooked like spinach and used in soups, sauces and risottos.
