Noon's Close

This variety was given to our donor by the owner of the house once owned by the late Professor Tutin, University of Leicester Botanist and contributor to The Concise Flora of the British Isles. The house is in Noon's Close, Stoughton, Leicestershire, hence the variety name. It's a typical broad-leaved sorrel: tasty, but not too acidic, perfect for salads or a sorrel sauce for fish. Can be harvested all year until heavy frosts, a good hardy perennial.
