Planting Instructions

3. Sowing: Scatter the seeds evenly on the soil surface and lightly press them in. Water gently to settle the soil.
4. Sunlight: Provide full sun to partial shade for Candy Cane Sorrel plants. In hot climates, partial shade during the hottest part of the day is beneficial.

• Mulching: Apply a layer of mulch around the plants to conserve moisture, suppress weeds, and maintain a more consistent soil temperature.

• Division: Candy Cane Sorrel plants can be divided every few years to rejuvenate them and prevent overcrowding
