<< Not to be a spoil sport here but sorrel is considered a bienniel and as
such
 dies after it produces seeds. On a more unbeat tone, if you pinch the flower
 stalks out as they form you can sometimes get several years out of the
 planting. I am on my 3rd year with mine.

     Hummmmmm, what I experienced with mine was a bit different.........
Pinching didn't work well to halt my lot--they just kept sending up more
stalks! And when I gave in and let them set seed, they looked awful for
months, but eventually revieved and did fine the next year again. This
lasted, uhhh, maybe 4 or 5 years? after which they did give up and die. Might
have done better with more care--the weeds always won the war before the end
of summer! ;-)
