Description

Rumex sanguineus, grown for its beautiful foliage, has long, rippled green leaves that are deeply veined with reddish-purple. Also known as Bloody Sorrel or Red-Veined Dock, Rumex sanguineus is a taprooted perennial that forms a rosette of evergreen leaves. Although it produces stalks of tiny green flowers, these are typically removed to prevent self-sowing and to encourage new leaf growth.

Rumex sanguineus prefers sun to light shade and moderately fertile, moist to wet soil, including clay. Do not allow it to dry out. It can also be used as a bog plant or in shallow water.

We ship via UPS & USPS (the Post Office), and their ship rates are automatically generated through our site. We do not profit on shipping costs. We are working with these providers to get our customers the best rates possible.

All ship times are subject to change if extreme weather conditions are present here at the nursery or at the shipping destination.

Please note: Depending on the time of year, the foliage of the plants may be trimmed to fit into our shipping boxes. This could delay the flowering of the plant, but many perennials actually benefit from being cut back.

We are currently not able to ship to Puerto Rico, Hawaii, and outside of the US.
