Cultivation Details

HabitPerennial
Growth—

Species in this genus generally succeed in a variety of soils, but they prefer deep fertile moderately heavy soils that are humus-rich, moisture-retentive and also well-drained, with a position in full-sun or part shade[1]. Being wind -pollinated, Rumex species usually hybridize readily, especially with other members of the genus they are more closely related to[2]. This species is often confused with Rumex longifolius and Rumex crispus[3].

Propagation

Seed - sow spring in a cold frame. When they are large enough to handle, prick the seedlings out into individual pots and plant them out in the summer. Division in spring.
